...in the season opener we took on #2 Kentucky at the Pond in Anaheim, coming off a disappointing season that ended with a horrific crashout in the NCAA tournament.
But the 94-95 team featured three dynamic new players that added depth and athleticism, and that changed the vibe of the entire team. True FR JR Henderson sank two FTs at the end to beat UK by one.
It was clear then that UCLA was just built differently than the previous years' models.
I see some parallels in what happened last night. This just *felt* like a different UCLA team than the ones we've seen the past couple of years.
