UCLA is struggling this year.
They lost some big time players to the NBA and the freshman class hasn't lived up to its billing.
I was initially worried that their inside game would be very weak with the loss of Kevin Love but Alfred Aboya has really stepped up. He is no Kevin Love but he isn't a potted plant either.
The big problem has been the team speed covering shooters. Howland likes defensive pressure which can force turnovers. But sometimes people get left open and the team can't seem to recover quickly to cover. The most telling stat has been the shooting percentage of the opponents.
The team needs to win out in the regular season and make a serious run in the Pac10 tournament. Otherwise, they are going to wind up a 7 or 8 seed with a tough round one game against a 9 or 10 seed and then a 1 or 2 seed in round two.
