The UCLA Basketball team is heading into Pac-12 play with a 13-0 record. Though they should keep the pace of their uptempo offense going, they need to be aware of the perils that the Pac-12 season brings.
Last season, the Bruins simply ran out of gas by the time conference play rolled around. Though they went 9-4 in their non-conference schedule — which included wins over #1 Kentucky and Gonzaga — the Bruins essentially ran into a brick wall once they started the Pac-12 portion of their schedule.
UCLA went on the road to the Washington schools and lost both games.
