A week ago, UCLA looked like a possible No. 1 seed and national title contender.
It hasn't been a great week for UCLA, in terms of injuries. First, guard Jaylen Clark went down with a torn Achilles in the regular-season finale last weekend. He was UCLA's best defender and second-leading scorer.
UCLA overcame that injury to win 75-56 over Oregon, advancing to the Pac-12 championship game on Saturday. That was impressive, as was Thursday's win over Colorado without Clark. But it's hard to imagine the injuries don't affect UCLA in the NCAA tournament, if Bona is out for a while.
