UCLA: Will the Bruins succumb to the poor air quality in Los Angeles?

Pretty lame, I know, but to be honest, I couldn't think of any more pressing questions this team faces heading into the season. That doesn't necessarily mean it's my pick to win it all, but even though UCLA lost leading scorer Arron Afflalo from last year's Final Four squad, the Bruins have plenty of weapons to make up for that. Junior point guard Darren Collison could have been a first-round pick had he gone into the NBA Draft, and his backup, sophomore Russell Westbrook, could start on 90 percent of the teams in Division I.

The other guards might not be quite as good at creating their own shots as Afflalo was, but that will be more than compensated by the arrival of 6-9 freshman forward Kevin Love, who could be the best passing big man to come into college basketball in the last decade. Thus, the only thing that can truly trip up this bunch is injury. Perhaps the smog in L.A. will be able to do to this team what the rest of the Pac-10 can't."

I love hearing about Westbrook ... he's going to be exciting to watch develop.  Contrast this to he msm's treatment of our football squad pre-season --- where they were pretty much national #15-20 IN SPITE of being coached by you-know-who.  Our hoops squad is so deep and disciplined that even injury strikes we're in good shape.  Do the right thing DG and give us someone at least worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as BH!
