Can UCLA be considered the lone "Cinderella" left in the tournament?

In nearly every single tournament, there is that one team that people saw from nowhere getting to at least the Elite 8. This year, are are no real surprises. Last night, two #1 seeds, a #2 seed, and a #3 seed. This year, the lone lower seed left is #11 UCLA. But with their history, are they really contenders?

When most watcherss think of the  most dominate teams in college basketball, they think of Duke, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Out of all these great teams, which school has the most championships? UCLA. UCLA is the university with the most NCAA Championships in all of men's college basketball. UCLA is the farm that produce players like Russell Westbrook, Zach Lavine, and others. In the 1960's and 1970's the UCLA Bruins ran the table , winning 10 National Championships in  a span of 12 years. 



Odds are with them

Although the UCLA Bruins are a number 2 seed, they are facing a Gonzaga team that has trouble facing athletic teams. Under the coaching of Steve Alford , look for the UCLA to have a great chance at winning the game.

NCAA Football Thursday Night Game:UCLA at Arizona State University

This game is not only the game to watch on Thursday, but it also may be the game of the week. This is only the game in which two ranked teams are playing each other. Arizona State  will look to defeat the Bruins. They seem to have a balance on offense, being ranked 12th in the FBS in rushing.

UCLA is led by quarterback Brett Hundley. The Bruins have high hopes this year. They at least expect to win the Pac-12. The offense will look to throw the ball.

WHAT TO WATCH:

Arizona State: Look for Arizona State to blitz and attack the quarterback. They have many blitzing schemes that will put pressure on Hundley. Hundley is already playing injured, so this may get ugly.


UCLA: The Bruins would love to establish a run game. Hundley is hurt, and the offensive line is not good at all against the run. If they are able to establish a run game, they can do alot of damage. If not, look for Hundley to put the team on his back.



PREDICTION:
While I do think that it will without their starting QB, I believe that Arizona State will win the game.
