If 3 of the elite 8 ends up as SEC that would be 38% representation. SEC started with 21% of the bracket. Not a homer at all and could care less if this happens, but to me this is pretty realistic possibility. Perception wise after a couple of SEC upsets people will be peace signing on their grave, but in the end it comes down to the volume of remaining teams IMO. As far as how we should measure conference strength.

My bonus bets hit on Bet365, @TrippieRedd

I’m $20 ahead with $150 free money to play. Whatever I finish ahead with, it’s all being withdrawn. I feel like I’m robbing them, but I do not care.

We rank better than them in offense and defense and they have one 7+' post player. The other 2 are 6'9"

As of March 20, 2025, the UCLA Bruins men's basketball team holds the following rankings:

• KenPom Rankings:
  • Adjusted Offensive Efficiency: Ranked 35th nationally, scoring 119.4 points per 100 possessions.
  • Adjusted Defensive Efficiency: Ranked 17th nationally, allowing 95.1 points per 100 possessions.

These metrics reflect UCLA's balanced performance on both ends of the court, contributing to their overall competitiveness in the NCAA Tournament.

Bad L for BaseVols, won’t really matter if you win the next two though

MI game closer than expected.

Odds are out for Vols and UCLA. Most of our lines will be tight so take this one as decent.

Tennessee has opened as a 5.5-point favorite over the Bruins. On the moneyline, the Vols are priced at -245. UCLA has opened as a +200 underdog to advance to the Sweet 16, giving the Bruins just a 33.33% implied win probability. The game total is sitting at a low 128.5 with -110 odds each way in this battle between two slow-paced teams.

UNC beat UCLA also. Losing to UCLA would be inexcusable for this UT team.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Michigan and refs got that one

Horrible

I don’t disagree, but UCLA has been really good since mid January. We will need to be at our best

No excuses would be needed. This is March.

Also UNC might be about to hit a little run to the Sweet 16
