It was not good news moments ago for UCLA.
The Bruins only got a 6 seed (I had them a 5) and must go to Philadelphia (East Region) for a game against a touch VCU team, an 11 seed with a very good point guard in Eric Maynor, who led his team to a first-round win over Duke two years ago.
And who does Ben Howland's team get in the second round, if they survive VCU? VIllanova, a 3 seed playing in its backyard. The Wildcats will blast 14 seed American U in the first round.
If the Bruins somehow survive Philly it's on to Boston where, barring upset 2 seed Duke will be waiting.
Get by the Blue Devils, Bruins, and Pittsburgh almost assuredly will be waiting.
The road to a fourth consecutive Final Four is really, really, tough for UCLA.
