A different look
UCLA wing Josh Shipp is in markedly better shape as the Bruins ready for the season, down 13 pounds from last season to 210.
How did he do it?
"Work out and eat right,'' he said.
It also helped Shipp was finally able to work out. Many of his past offseasons were spent either recovering from surgery, or trying to avoid surgery.
"I was finally healthy and I could do things,'' Shipp said. "I didn't have as much pain. Basically, no pain. It was being able to work out and not worry about anything."

woohoo, good job shipp!
make sure the maintenance guys are ready to get up there and hang up another banner at the end of the season!
hopefully being in better shape also means improving that jumpshot and attacking the basket more
I was waiting to hear this. This is going to be a fun season!
I think a lot of UCLA's success is going to hing on Shipp. He doesn't need to be on fire all season, but he can't go on cold streaks for extended periods of time.
Looking for a Dijon Thompson performance from his senior year ... only with a much better supporting cast.
Ever try shooting baskets unguarded, and only make 40% on a bad day, and 60% on a good day?
That is why basketball teams with outstanding inside play do better on average than guard-oriented teams.
5 hours 15 minutes and counting since the last post. Where are you Jill? Brian has spoiled us.
I was watching football practice.
