than UCLA. I'm not saying the Bruins are sure fire top-25 but the lineup seems more settled than last year, when Bilodeau wasn't really a 4 and Booker wasn't really a 5.
Booker still might not be a 5 but he's at least a 4.5, and Jovic and Macura give Cronin the rebounding toughness the team lacked last year.
The biggest question is can Petty adapt faster than Dent did last year.
I don't expect the offense to be as explosive as it was with Bilodeau and Dent at their best, but the defense should be better, and there were very few games where Bilodeau and Dent were on at the same time anyway.
Time will tell.
