After a home sweep over Cal and Stanford, the UCLA Basketball team (16-1, 3-1) remained the 4th best team in the nation according to the voters of the AP Poll.
It was thought that the Bruins would rise after #1 Villanova lost by eight points to the then-#18 Butler Bulldogs. The Wildcats only dropped two spots in the Top 25 and are #3 in front of the Bruins.
Last week, after UCLA lost to then-#21 Oregon, the Bruins also dropped two spots. The rub here is that UCLA were close to a win, but lost on a last second shot by Oregon’s Dillon Brooks.
