UCLA is stacked with talent, experience and versatility.
Bruce Pascoe The Pac-12 asked those of us who regularly cover the conference to submit votes for its official 2022-23 preseason poll, which will be released Wednesday in San Francisco.Last season: 27-8 overall; 15-5 Pac-12 , lost to North Carolina in NCAA Sweet 16
A rash of COVID and injury issues -- and, of course, Arizona's dominant run in Tommy Lloyd's head coaching debut last season – kept UCLA from defending its 2021 title last season. But UCLA returns another deep core of talent that includes matchup nightmare Jaime Jaquez and gritty point guard Tyger Campbell, while adding five-star freshmen Amari Bailey and Adem Bona . With good health, the Bruins should be back at the top.
OK, so who picked Arizona to run away with the conference by three games last season? Anybody? . Based on the way they exceeded expectations last season, picking the Wildcats second this time may sound foolish. But losing three players to the NBA Draft is a serious drain of talent, even though the Wildcats’ quality big men and veteran wing players should have them at least in the title race.
