After a 15-17 season, the UCLA Basketball team seems to be headed in the direction of progress. Because of that, the Bruins are getting national attention with individual awards and now received their first important preseason ranking.
The USA Today Coaches Poll was just released and listed the Bruins at #20.
This is quite a jump for a team that finished 10th in their conference and had a brutal early exit in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament last spring.
Yes, things ended horribly for the Bruins which resulted in the majority of UCLA Basketball fans to call for Head Coach Steve Alford‘s head.
