The Bruins are coming off a 28-9 season, a Pac-12 tournament championship, and the teams first Sweet 16 appearance since 2008, last season. The Bruins lost a ton of production from last seasons roster and will look to replace that production with the 7th ranked recruiting class and a few transfers who are eligible to play this season. This will be a nice early season test for the Bruins and should give the coaching staff a good indication as to what kind of team they have this season.
