UCLA took the top spot in the conference after their dismantling of Arizona on Tuesday night. If the Bruins play as they did in that game, the Bears will have a very tough game on their hands. Johnny Juzang has improved in every statistical category since the last time he played the Bears. Cody Riley’s return has also been a big boost to their frontcourt rotation adding a scoring threat around the basket. UCLA also returned to the top 10 on KenPom after Tuesday’s victory with a top 15 efficiency-rated offense and defense. Not much to analyze here with this Bruins team. They’re fast, athletic, and can make buckets at a slightly below superhuman pace.

And if you missed there Bears’ last game against Arizona make sure to check out the recap.
