The UCLA Bruins have lost three players to injury before the season has even started. Some are writing off the season already and/or the cynical are saying Steve Alford has an excuse for underachieving again. The fact of the matter is this is the deepest roster UCLA has had in years and, if there was ever a season for injuries like this, this is probably the best one for it to happen. That’s not to say the injuries won’t hurt but keep in mind that this team is deep and has plenty of time to adjust.
Briefly on each injury and what it means.
