The No. 11 seed UCLA Bruins (22-9) are on their way to the Men’s NCAA Tournament Final Four to face top-seeded Gonzaga (30-0) in the team’s first appearance in the semifinals since the 2008 season when Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook were still wearing the blue and yellow. Their latest win was certainly their most impressive as they downed No. 1 Michigan by a score of 51-49 on Tuesday evening.
The Bruins have also just accomplished one of the rarer feats a team can achieve in the NCAA tournament: going from playing in the First Four to now playing in the Final Four.
