Tracy Dodds’ article on the UCLA-UC Irvine NIT game leads with “After his team upset defending champion UCLA . . . “ That game was no upset. When are UCLA fans and the L.A. media going to realize that the Pac-10 in general, and UCLA in particular, are no longer powers in basketball?
After the first rounds of the NCAA and NIT, the PCAA was 2-0, the WCAC was 1-1, the WAC was 2-3 and Pac-10 was 0-4.
It’s time to face reality, Bruin fans. The better team from the better conference won.
