Recap of Pac-12 hoops in Round 1 of the NCAA tournament: And then there was UCLA

NOTE: Excuse the slightly subpar audio in this one. We recorded ultra late on Friday night and our editor is a lazy bozo. Also follow us on Twitter @notruckstopspod.

On this special weekend edition of No Truck Stops, Carlos, Avery, Greg, and Reid (!), and special guest Bryce Hendricks (@BryceHendrick14) discuss the Pac-12's ultimately unsuccessful opening round of the NCAA tournament. The gang first talked about ASU's thrilling loss to TCU, including critiques (and praise!) of Bobby Hurley's offense, and how ASU's season might be evaluated. The crew also talked about Arizona's shocking loss to Princeton, how Arizona's season fared, new questions about Tommy Lloyd, and how he might need to change philosophically. The fivesome also discussed USC's disappointing loss to Michigan State, including the decline of Drew Peterson, Boogie Ellis's quiet night, how much the Trojans missed Vincent Iwuchukwu, and where USC goes from here as they bring in some talent for 2023-24. 

And finally, the crew talks about UCLA's dominant win over UNC Asheville. They also discussed UCLA's path forward, Bryce's critiques of Mick Cronin, and how UCLA stands up as a legitimate national contender.
