UCLA is AP #1

[Russ Smith]

First time in 11 years, with the losses by Florida and UNC, the Bruins are the top rated college basketball team in the country!

not that I think they're that good yet but they are playing quite well so it's a nice accomplishment while it lasts. To actually be there at the end depends a great deal on the development of 3 freshman, Westbrook, Keefe and Dragovic, and one soph Aboya. If Aboya continues to improve and 2 of the other 3 are consistent in limited minutes, UCLA has a chance to be back in the final 4.

I really thought they would be missing something without Farmar coming back... looks like I was wrong.

We all did, I don't know a single Bruin fan who expected Collison to play that well this year. We'll see he's playing too many minutes so hopefully Westbrook keeps coming along giving Collison more of a break. But right now Collison is outperforming Farmar across the board.

Ben Howland is a hell of a coach.

...and now all the way to #10 in the A.P. Poll. Whoo-hoo!

@ George Mason - WON!
@ #6 LSU - WON!
@ #15 Syracuse - WON!

All on the road. No other team has done as much this early in the season! Me thinks WSU should be Top-5 a-thank-you.
