Agreed ucla can look like a tournament team for about 30 minutes during a game but they are not good.

UCLA will come with a huge chip on their shoulder.

We shouldn't be over confident. Let's just survive and advance.

Well all the experts hate UCLA-let's prove it

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.

The entire plane ride should be about how the NCAA thinks we are a mid major and that they have been disrespecting us and our conference for 2 straight years and it is up to us to show them again.

The chair guy should just say "look, guys, this is all political and we want to make as much money for the NCAA and the TV networks as possible and so we will always err on the side of the larger alumni bases/bigger brands because that's what 'the people' want to see. The math regarding RPI/SOS, blah blah only exist to justify our choices after the fact and are, honestly, kind of irrelevant."

At least, then he'd be honest. And I'd respect that.

I'm thinking we play early Thursday. They'll make the UK pod primetime.
