Sloppy play by the Bruins at first, a TON of turnovers. And then to withstand a barrage of 3's in which Villanova could NOT miss, well, a lot of previous UCLA teams would have wilted when down by 10. Credit to UCLA for winning with defense. That's a bad word in basketball these days.
It's pre-season, doesn't mean much at this point. But if this is a harbinger of things to come, the Bruins are going to be a pretty tough out this season.
west coast basketball is where all the tops teams are... UCLA and Zags blew out the other top 2 teams in the country this week...
