UCLA Basketball had a resurgence last year due to the mixture of a Top 10 recruiting class, contributions from experienced upperclassmen and the implementation of an uptempo offense. Leading this team on the hardwood was freshman phenom Lonzo Ball.
With Ball running the point, he helped the Bruins go from 15-17 to 31-5. Head Coach Steve Alford had plenty of players to accommodate the uptempo style that became the second highest scoring teams in college hoops (89.8 ppg). Aside from directing this high-scoring offense, Ball had the most assists in the nation (7.6 apg).
