(3) UCLA (29-4)

UCLA is loaded.

The Bruins have the top-ranked offense in the nation, averaging 90.4 points per game. They have six guys averaging double figures in points.

They also rank first in the nation in assists and assists/turnover ratio, averaging 21.5 assists per game with a 1.86 A/TO ratio.

A lot of that can be accredited to Lonzo Ball, the Pac 12 freshman of the year and nation’s leader in assists with 7.7 per game. Most consider Ball to be the top player in the entire tournament, let’s just hope his dad can stay out of his way and be quiet for once.

UCLA had three players named to the Pac 12’s 10-man first-team all-conference, including Ball, T.J. Leaf and Bryce Alford.
