At the beginning of March, when the bracket frenzy was in full gear, many picked UCLA Basketball to win it all. Instead, Gonzaga and North Carolina will face off in the NCAA Title game tonight.
The Bruins did not even make it past the Sweet Sixteen. Ironically, after a disappointing 15-17 season last year, making it back to the tourney seems enough for some. In fact, my colleague Mike Regalado wrote a piece calling for expectations for the UCLA Basketball team to be more aligned with reality.
This season was not a success.
