To repeat, Rutger's upset of Minny last night does UCLA a solid.
I expect we will advance, despite UCLA tripping 2 time zones on the long, cold road.
There is one troublesome matchup which could bite us based on his play of late. Our Achilles Heel has been the boards. Rutger's top rebounder by a country mile is Manny Ogbole.
At 6'10" and *260* pounds, he's been getting increased burn.......as per his being the game-high rebounder against Minny and one of 3 double-digit scorers last night. He has the potential to eat up Bookerson, setting aside the reality that Bilo is not exactly a D savant when CMC spots him at the 5 to accommodate our 3-guard offense.
Next up would be #8 Mich St in the quarterfinals who blew us out by 23 less than a month ago in Lansing. A bigly upset in that one could be a re-seeding crop project...
