How they got here: UCLA won two of its last three games, beating USC and Stanford, to slip into the NCAA tournament as one of the final four teams selected. St. Bonaventure finished second in the Atlantic 10 Conference and had won 13 consecutive games before falling to Davidson in a conference tournament semifinal.
Best victories/worst losses: UCLA defeated Kentucky, 83-75, in New Orleans in December and downed Arizona, 82-74, in Tucson in February, becoming the only team to beat the Wildcats on their home court in the last two seasons. The Bruins' two worst losses came against Colorado, including a 68-59 setback at home in January.
