Pac-12 conference basketball set to begin
Coach Steve Alford’s best recruiting class for this season was expected to get UCLA back on track following the Bruins’ fourth losing season since 1948. Few could have expected they would be this good, this quick.
UCLA is up to number 2 in the AP Top 25 and one of six remaining undefeated teams as the Bruins head into the Pac-12 conference season.
Oregon opened the season with two losses in its first four games, prompting questions of what’s wrong with the Ducks?
Nothing, really.
Since losing to Georgetown in the opening round of the Maui Invitational, the Ducks have won nine straight and moved up to number 20 in the AP Top 25.
Oregon is loaded with talent and will certainly make a run at repeating at Pac-12 champion.
Oregon will host UCLA Wednesday night to open conference play.
