It is crazy that Haase of all people accomplished something twice that had never been done before including by Mike Montgomery (in seven chances), which is to beat Arizona and UCLA in back-to-back games.

Dec. 31 2023 (Arizona 82, Stanford 100) and January 3 2024 (Stanford 59, UCLA 53)
Jan. 23, 2021 (UCLA 72, Stanford 73); Jan. 28, 2021 (Stanford 73, Arizona 64)

Simply more proof the conference isn't what it once was - beating a sub-.500 UCLA in 2024 is nothing special, and we gave Arizona its third loss in the past five games, so they were hardly riding high coming into Maples. Even after those wins, Massey has us at 85. We're 101 in NET.

Happy for the players, but this doesn't (and shouldn't) in any way change anyone's view of Haase's long-term viability on the Farm.

And this was one of the better back-handed insults I've seen in a while, from the UCLA coach, in the earlier linked article:

The Bruins compounded their shooting woes by committing 10 of their 16 turnovers in the second half, a total that Cronin called “ridiculous” given the defense his team faced. “There is no press, there is no trap,” Cronin said. “So why are you turning the ball over? What would the reason be?”
