The 2007 season would be the best team that Ben Howland would be able to put together. They went 35-4, won the Pac-10 and now had a good offense with their dominating defense. Kevin Love was first team All-American; Russell Westbrook was Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year. Then you had Darren Collison and Josh Shipp as steady presences who could get you buckets. This was the team to make it happen, they had it all and were one of the favorites to win the title.
2007 Russell Westbrook was an animal at UCLA.
