Brian, I still think you have UCLA too high. Remember, WE are the homers!
But, I think it is ok. We are near the top 10 know, IMO. If we go 5-0 to start the P10 (OSU, ORE, SUC, AZ and ASU), then we are a solid top 10, perhaps top 5 team.
So far, the injury bug has not hit the Bruins too severely. If we stay healthy -- and continue to improve as the season movea along (which is a given in the Howland era)-- a 1,2, or 3 seed is quite achievable.
Any body read the la la times today about Ken Norton crying foul about UCLA recruiting? I hate when BD goes on vacation because I hate reading that fish wrap. here is the link

pr,
Thanks for the heads up. Norton's ego seems to be getting pretty inflated. I loved him as a player but I hope he stays put at U$C.
