Senior writer Matt Cummings at the Daily Bruin did a Q&A session with Daily Wildcat sports editor Alec White about the UCLA men's basketball team to preview the upcoming matchup. Here's Matt's thoughts on UCLA's defensive vs Arizona's offense, whether or not the Bruins can make the NCAA Tournament and more.
Q: UCLA currently sits at fourth in the Pac-12 (16-7, 7-4) and have won three in a row including a home win vs USC. Are the Bruins starting to turn a corner after previously dropping three in a row?
A: I’m hesitant to say they’re turning a corner because that’s exactly what I thought a few weeks ago when their impressive victory over Utah marked their sixth win in a stretch of seven games.
