Three things concern me about UCLA:
1. They have developed a nasty habit of starting slow. Hell, they even started slowly against Weber, but Weber was so bad it didn't matter. They have got to get that under control.
2. They don't have a solid inside presence offensively. Last year they had a seven footer in Hollins who really started to round into form by tournament time. Now they have 6'9" Mata who is a very good defender and rebounder, but not much of a scorer. They won't have that dominant inside scorer until next year when the #1 high school center, Kevin Love, comes to town. That's why I think they're probably a year away.
3. Last year they came into the tourney red hot, this year they're coming in slumping.
UCLA is my team and I'm hoping for the best, but I don't think it's their time yet. Odds for: Elite 8 are likely, Final Four are iffy, championship are slim.

They start slow. They had me a little nervous on Thursday to be honest. But once they got going they dominated. They've bounced back from their two losses and are ready to take it at least to the final four. I hope to see them in the final though. They can defiantly handle Indiana.

I think they have a chance, they play hard defense and are good in transition. If they get hot offensively i think they can win it all.
