There is reason for optimism this season for UCLA basketball. In a pair of “top 10 posts” I will list reasons why this could be Steve Alford best season at UCLA or another disappointment that will conclusive prove he is not a UCLA level coach. Today why this should be his best season and his first PAC 12 regular season title..
10. Alford “got lucky” with the other PAC 12 teams. UCLA is ranked #18 national and predicted third in the PAC 12. But really on the latter UCLA is in arguably the best shape of any predicted third place program in PAC 12 history.
