UCLA was 13-18 last year. Sagarin had them ranked 84. However, they did play a tougher schedule than UConn - at least according to Sagarin. Eight of their 15 players are listed as freshman (2RS). I think they lost of their 3 or 4 top scorers. I don't see them giving UConn much of a game this year but they might be competitive in a year or two.
Ticketmaster shows lots of seats available. If you haven't been to a UConn game at the Sun Arena you should give it a try. IMO way better than Gampel or XL Center. Easy access, free parking and great restaurants.
