By Bruin Basketball Report

During this afternoon's media teleconference, UCLA Coach Ben Howland gave a very brief injury update on the status of Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Kevin Love.

Mbah a Moute did not practice today due to a final, however, the junior forward was shooting around after practice. Howland had not personally seen Mbah a Moute today and could not provide any further detail on the ankle injury.

The team did not practice Sunday or Monday.

As for freshman center Kevin Love, his back was still sore during practice but it did not limit his play today.

Both players continue to receive treatment for their injuries.

Howland said he was very pleased with reserve forward James Keefe's play last week, especially against USC. He was in particular impressed with his defense against DaVon Jefferson in the second half.
