A month or so ago, UCLA fans were certain that the Bruins would go into March Madness as the #1 Seed in the West bracket. That dream is on life-support, as the unprecedented in-season unveiling of seedings places UCLA as a #4 Seed in the East. UCLA is considered to be the 15th strongest team in the Country at the moment (I don’t know if this was their determination before or after we beat Oregon, who incidentally got a 2 seed!). To make matters worse, the East bracket looks the toughest, with UCLA looking up at #1 Seed Villanova, #2 Louisville, and #3 Kentucky
Perhaps the next unveiling will have the Bruins ascend the charts, moving up to a 3 or a 2, and moving out of the East, … but not if they don’t destroy the Beavs on Sunday afternoon in Pauley.
