— Danny Manning and Steve Alford’s careers have a few curious parallels.
— Tyus Edney reflects on UCLA’s 1994 loss to Tulsa, a game he ranks as the most disappointing of his college career.
UCLA left for San Diego on Tuesday afternoon, but head coach Steve Alford spoke to the media about the NCAA tournament beforehand. He talked about Tulsa’s defense, its leading scorer James Woodard, and Wanaah Bail’s injury.
