The UCLA Basketball team is turning into one of the best in recent years, but how do they stack up against the best (perceived) Bruin team in the last 20 years, the 2007-08 UCLA team?

This season’s UCLA Basketball team is very good. Despite how they ended last year, they have transformed into a team that is getting some well deserved national attention.

The Bruins are having their best start to a season since the 2006-07 season, which was a good team coach ed by Ben Howland, but it can be argued that the 2007-08 team with Darren Collison, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love is the best in the last 20 years.

That team took UCLA to their 3rd straight Final Four with an incredible 35-4 record.

There is no doubt they were an elite team, so with this season’s Bruin squad getting similar attention and putting up some of the best numbers in the nation, Go Joe Bruin compares the individual match ups to see if this Bruin team is for real.
