Thread: UCLA basketball offseason thread

Since this is an offseason thread, might as well post offseason worthy news...

Saw Mata at brewco last night.

That is worthy news...was the dance team with him?

Good to see the alums are doing well too.

Wasn't sure where to put this but it is worth mentioning.

There will be a lot less upsets in the tournament.

There were a lot less upsets in the tournament last year without the rule change.

I don't know that that's necessarily true.

If moving back the line favors zone defenses, that's a minus for UCLA, right?

And while we hopefully won't have to do this as much anymore, spreading out the court will affect Howland's routine double-down on opposing star post players.

According to Scout.com, Drew Gordon is going to announce today that he's going to UCLA.

This is big news. That gives UCLA a much-needed post player in the 2008 class to go along with the guards coming in.

Gordon is 6'9" and a bit raw offensively but very athletic and seems to have his head on straight (like all the UCLA recruits these days).
