Post-game theme
In the locker room, UCLA players were talking about losing in the Final Four the last two seasons, and how they weren't going there this time to come home without a title.
"It definitely left a sour taste in our mouth,'' UCLA wing Josh Shipp said. "We definitely have unfinished business. It would be great if we can accomplish this goal."

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
UCLA did not lose their first trip to the final four. They lost in the final game against Florida.
