UCLA Bruins point guard Dylan Andrews needs to regain his form as the team enters crucial Big Ten conference games. After a strong start to the season, Andrews has struggled in recent games against top programs. The Bruins will look to him to lead them to key victories against challenging opponents.
The No. 15 UCLA Bruins (11-2) are entering their most important games of the year as Big Ten plays will be in full swing and they will need their veteran leader at the point guard position to help them earn some key wins. Junior guard Dylan Andrews has shown from bright spots this season, including a career-high 21 points a few weeks ago against Prairie View A&M and the game-winning three-point bank shot in the upset victory over the No. 12 Oregon Ducks.
Since, he has not lived up to his talent and expectations. In the past two games against North Carolina and Gonzaga, arguably two of the top programs in the country, Andrews combined for just two points on 1-11 shooting in 49 minutes of action. His production up to that point in the season has been great but has fallen since. He is one of the longest tenured players on the Bruins roster currently in his third season with head coach Mick Cronin. He has gone through adversity the past few years and is reaping the benefits this season with a top 15 national ranking and an 11-2 start. As the Bruins prepare for their third Big Ten game of the season, facing the Nebraska Cornhuskers (11-2), Andrews will be the one player to look for that needs a big game. He will receive considerable minutes as the point guard of this team and will need to respond with a big game. UCLA and their players have shown their ability to be resilient and respond directly after failures. The Bruins bounced back from the Tar Heels loss to knock off Gonzaga for the first time in the past five meetings and multiple players have already stepped up after bad games. For example, one player was benched against Prairie View A&M, then came out and scored a season-high 22 points in the very next game. Senior guard There is no reason why Andrews cannot be the next Bruin to come up with a big game after a few hiccups over his last couple of contests
