Louisville Basketball: Predicting The Week 9 Associated Press Poll
By Derek Snyder
3. UCLA Bruins: 14-1 (Lost to Oregon)
The Bruins finally took their first loss of the season to #21 Oregon, on the road, earlier in the week. While I do think it will drop the Bruins a bit, they will only drop one spot below where they were heading into the weekend.
It took a last-second three pointer to actually beat UCLA and as we have learned in the past, that doesn’t always mean that the better team won. However, we do have to give credit to an Oregon team that did something Kentucky couldn’t even do.
I expect UCLA to climb back up into the number two spot very soon because they don’t even play another ranked opponent for six games.
Even then, they will get to play #18 Arizona at home.
