The UCLA Outlook

It’s just the same old story for the Bruins. Kentucky and Arizona both lost again, the Bruins split another Pac-12 series, and they’re running out of time to fix it. UCLA needs to start winning games, and they need to start now.

We can play the blind résumé game. I’ll present the résumés of four bubble teams, and you can rank them. Then I’ll reveal their identities.

The formula ranked these teams: #1-C #2-B #3-A #4-D

Team A was Kansas State, Team B was Butler, Team C was Texas Tech, Team D was UCLA.

Below is the full breakdown of the 16 bubble teams.
