Shipp’s Season Sinking: UCLA sophomore forward Josh Shipp needs three months to rehab his right hip after undergoing arthroscopic surgery. Without Shipp, the Bruins return three out of five starters from last season’s NCAA Tournament squad. Shipp averaged 9.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game last season. His loss will create some problems for the Bruins early in the season. But if the team adjusts, Shipp’s return could turn a good season into a great season for UCLA. [9/29/05]
