Gem of a matchup. Unsure on status of Juzang for UCLA... some big time transfer impact in this one BYU quietly pretty solid this year.

Toss-up?

Mick Cronin was literally like the seventh choice for UCLA. They play tough and have a great recruiting class coming in. They stumbled their way into a heck of a great coach. Reminds of USC football having Pete Carroll be their eighth choice

Honestly, UCLA had some really bad luck this year. Hill and Smith got injured during the season. Nix decided to go to the G-League after the pandemic was threatening the season. They should have been a lot better. But Cronin still got his team into the round of 32. We'll see how they fare in the 2nd round

UCLA now has a clean path to sweet 16, and if Maryland manages to pull off an upset over Alabama they will have a serious chance for elite 8 trip.
 
byu getting a 6 seed was the worst seeding of the tournament. They play in a garbage league outside of Gonzaga and went 0-3 against Gonzaga. Their only good win all year was over San Diego State. They should have been in the 8-9 game.
