UCLA: what happened?????

The UCLA bruins were looking good heading into their Sweet 16 matchup with the number one seeds Florida gators. The Bruins defeated Tulsa in the round of 64 by a score of 76-59, an easy victory for the offensively-skilled Bruins. In the next round,they breezed past SF Austin 60-77... However, UCLA was heavily favored in both of those games. Then the Bruins had to face a highly dominant Florida Gator team. The Gators had not lost since December, and continued that streak against the Bruins. The game was fairly close throughout the whole first half of the game, the score at half-time being 30-36 in Florida's favor. The fatal flaw for the Bruins was rebounding, both offensive and defensive. The Bruins went 8 for 30 in rebounding! They eventually were just left in the dust by Florida's tough, physical play. This resulted in a final score of 68-79, Florida. This is a disappointing end to a great Bruins season. Best of luck for a strong, determinated Gator team.

  1. It sure would have been nice to go to the next round but Florida was just too tough. I think Florida will go all the way. Good analysis, David.
