The sneaky team this year is UCLA. I say sneaky because they haven't played to anybody's expectations the past 2 years.
Senior Tyler Williamson has been a huge disappointment, however seems to have gotten it going of late. His stats are below

Juco transfer Mark Lorenzo has come in and helped stabilize an offense needing some help, and actually replaced PCC Freshman of the year Jean Becker in the starting line up. So that's saying something about him.

1954 High School: Rated **** and #86 overall by the FBCB scouting service.
And don't forget they still have Center Derick Busby who doesn't put up gaudy numbers but just comes with his lunch pail everyday and puts in work. He isn't sexy, but the former All-American and 44th ranked player in the nation boards and is a force on the Defensive side of the ball. He is averaging a steal and 2.6 blocks a game in the paint.
If they can keep up what they are doing, and with the guys that have, they might just be the team that makes it into the tourney this year as the 3rd PCC team. They have #13 Arizona State next, so that game will be telling on where the Bruins season might be heading.
