UCLA Basketball Remains #2 in the AP Poll
The UCLA Basketball team is the #2 program in the AP Poll for another week after going 10-0 with a win over Michigan.
Though there is a very good case for the Bruins to be the #1 team in the nation, UCLA Basketball will stay at the #2 spot in the latest AP Top 25.
The Bruins only had one game last week because of finals. UCLA defeated Michigan 102-84 behind the strong second-half effort. UCLA was tied with the Wolverines at 50 at halftime, but used a 10-2 run to start the second half which propelled them to victory.
No. 1 Villanova almost relinquished their spot at the top of the polls. On Saturday, the Wildcats were in a slugfest with Notre Dame, but were able to pull out the victory and go 10-0 on the season.
The Bruins may not be #1 in the polls but they are certainly #1 in several key categories. The UCLA Basketball team currently have the nation’s best three point shooting percentage (.471), field-goal percentage (.562) and assists per game (23.9). They are also #2 in the country in scoring with 97.5 points per game.
