The Pac-10 announced its year-end basketball honors, and Mike Roll was named to the ten-person "first-team" all-conference team. Roll led the Bruins this year in points and assists per game (13.5 and 3.6 respectively), and was UCLA's most consistent player.

As an indication that perhaps things will improve in Westwood next year, Reeves Nelson and Tyler Honeycutt made the conference's All-Freshmen team, which consists of only five players. Nelson has become the team's best inside threat, while Honeycutt led the Bruins in rebounds per game with 6.7. I, like most Bruin fans, am looking forward to seeing how much these two (and the rest of the team) can improve by next season.

And to demonstrate how uncharacteristic this season was for the Bruins, nobody from UCLA made the All-Defense team.

California's Jerome Randle won Player of the Year, and Arizona's Derrick Williams won Freshman of the Year.
