The flu was more of a factor against ASU than UA from what I've heard. Drago and DC both were getting over the flu when they played on Thursday but were much closer to 100% against UA on Saturday. I wish the flu would explain DC getting scorched by Nic Wise like that, he completely ate Wise up the first time around.
UCLA just isn't nearly as good defensively this year as in the past, thats' why they need more scoring from Jrue and Aboya and why they are starting Dragovic, Howland realizes the defense just isn't as good so they have to score more. They have a very efficient offense, but UA turned them over 18 times and that was the killer.
UCLA was overrated early because everyone expected more from the freshmen, then they looked so good over 4 games everyone thought they were taking off, but it's clear that was a streak against a fading USC, lousy Stanford, no defense Cal and no defense Notre Dame. The last 2 games were a wakeup call hopefully.
