PAC-10 MEN'S BASKETBALLUCLA sits atop the class.This year the UCLA Bruins are so good that in spite of losing three players to the NBA Draft, including All-American freshman Kevin Love, they went out and recruited the No. 1 class in the nation and sit atop of the class in the Pac-10 Conference this season.
A preseason top five ranking puts UCLA in a position to win the conference and reach the Final Four for the fourth consecutive year. Four straight Final Fours are fine, but Coach Ben Howland and the Bruins have yet to bring home the championship since 1995.
