6. Both The Men and Women Have Top 10 Teams

This is a huge season for UCLA Basketball as both women’s and men’s teams are in the Top 10 of their respective AP Polls.

The UCLA Women’s Basketball team just fell one spot to #10 after a loss to #6 South Carolina, but they are still a team that looks to make a deep NCAA Tournament run. The Bruins, on average, are beating their opponents by a 14.5 scoring margin. That will increase after their huge blow out win in their final non-conference game over North Carolina A&T where the Bruins won by 41 in an 83-42 rout.

The men are currently in their third week as the #2 team in the country. Going 12-0 will help with that. They have a chance to go a perfect 13-0 in the non-conference if they defeat Western Michigan in their last game before Pac-12 play.

That seems like the perfect reason to #PackPauley.
