Haven't kept up with UCLA one bit, so I'm going to skip on them this year.

Well, off to a 1-2 start, losing to Purdue & TCU is nothing to be ashamed of. Edging out Texas State despite shooting 9-18 from the line and being out rebounded 50-27 was a pleasant surprise.
Kenny Daniel played really well, dropping 27 points on 10-13 shooting with 6 dimes & 4 steals. Cody (JR) & McGhee (Soph) played well off the bench as well.
