Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2389411, member: 6927"] Good points, and if you look at how the top 4 teams in the Pac-12 fared against each other in the regular season, UCLA acquitted themselves very well, coming in second only to Oregon St: OSU (4-1): 1-1 vs. UCLA, 2-0 vs. Stanford, 1-0 vs. UW UCLA (3-2): 1-1 vs. OSU, 1-0 vs. Stanford, 1-1 vs. UW UW (1-3): 1-1 vs. UCLA, 0-1 vs. Stanford, 0-1 vs. OSU Stanford (1-3): 0-1 vs. UCLA, 0-2 vs. OSU, 1-0 vs. UW What dropped the Bruins to 4th was that they took more losses (3) vs. the rest of the conference than the other three top-4 teams did. Drummer's injury last year meant that UCLA only had one (Canada) of the three McDAAs from the 2014 recruiting class (Caldwell had transferred out the year before), and it also meant they had no depth at all beyond Kornet. They lose some experience and long-range shooting with the departure of Korver and Kornet, but I'm looking forward to seeing them with Drummer back and with the new faces. [/QUOTE]
