UCLA falls to 0-3

Gotta kinda wonder if this schedule was the best path for such a young group.

Fly 3000 miles to play a pretty good James Madison squad, then at ranked UNC.
Then return home to face ranked Texas (L 75-65) and Nebraska (Fri).

Those kids are either going to be toughened up real fast or have their confidence shot.

After Nebraska, they've got 5 home games -- 4 against non-notable mid-majors and 1 vs Miami. So potentially a breather.

But then another cross country trip to face UConn.
Then ND right after Xmas, before starting the PAC sked at rival USC.

Piece of cake!

Brutal schedule, Creme can tear up that 4th seed bracket. A shame because the brutal schedule was unnecessary as they started off ranked and could have cupcaked their way in the top 15.

UCLA has some highly rated freshman and two more coming in next year.
I think the program is really on the uptick and even though they are 0-3
now they will be tough come Pac 12 play. I like the way they are taking
on the good teams right away. This will pay off later this yr.
I am looking forward to seeing them at Mohegan next month.
