Bruins Rank 12th in Coaches Poll The UCLA men’s basketball team was ranked No. 12 in Thursday’s Preseason ESPN/USA Today poll. The Bruins finished last season No. 20 after falling to Missouri in the regional semifinals of the 2002 NCAA tournament. Arizona was ranked No. 1 overall, while Oregon checked in at No. 9. No other team from the Pac-10 received votes from the 31 men’s basketball coaches from across the nation.

Greco Named Preseason All Pac-10 Senior guard Michelle Greco was named to the 2002-03 Preseason All-Pac-10 conference women’s basketball team, Wednesday. Greco led the conference in scoring, in the 1999-2000 campaign, earning her a spot on the 2001 Preseason team as well. But due to a history of mild concussions, Greco did not compete in conference play last year. Among the list of players that are joining Greco, are Ebony Hoffman of USC, Loree Payne of Washington, Nicole Powell of Stanford and Shaquala Williams of Oregon. The media tabbed the Bruins to finish seventh in the Pac-10, while Stanford was the unanimous choice to repeat as conference champion. Notes compiled by Daily Bruin Reporter Adam Titcher.
