Kentucky. Wisconsin. Duke. Michigan State. The Final Four. There is only one problem… NO UCLA! Though that is a different story all together, the NCAA Tournament has once again come down to the top four teams who will battle it out for the National Championship later this week. So how do you feel about that Bruins?

Like I said, UCLA not being in the Final Four is a story for another time (and we could spend days on it), but not seeing the most storied college basketball program in the country competing for another National Championship does leave some harsh feelings, especially seeing who IS in the Final Four.

FYI, did you know it has been 20 years since UCLA has won a basketball championship? Sheesh.

Kentucky, who is currently undefeated this season with a 38-0 record, is three titles away from catching UCLA. For Bruin fans, that is a “no bueno”. UCLA does not want any program catching their coveted record, so I guarantee you no Bruin wants Kentucky to complete their season 40-0 and capture their 9th National Championship.

The same goes for Duke. With their win over Gonzaga, Duke has now given coach Mike Krzyzewski ties legendary UCLA coach John Wooden for the most Final Four appearances in NCAA history, that is nice, but Coach Wooden had more championships in that time. So there.

As for Wisconsin and Michigan State, I am sure Bruin fans will be more than happy to see coaches Bo Ryan or Tom Izzo get their first and second championships, respectively.

So with that being said…
