9. UCLA Bruins

Previous ranking: 10

Record: 18-1 (5-1 Pac-12)

I remain unsold on UCLA despite their consecutive wins last week at Colorado and over Utah. It will take a win over Arizona on Saturday to convince me this team can beat the best in the Pac-12.

Thomas Welsh led the Bruins in their one-point victory over the Utes. The junior center had 16 points and eight rebounds. Welsh has several other teammates helping him with T.J. Leaf’s 12 and 10 and Lonzo Ball’s 17-point, six-board and eight-assist effort. This team is still loaded with potential and will be a force come March if they can demonstrate an ability to compete with the best in-house competition.
