UCLA's plans
The Bruins remained in San Antonio tonight and will fly home Sunday. UCLA coach Ben Howland said there will be a team meeting Monday.
Meanwhile, Bruins power forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute said he would spend the evening with his parents, who made the trip from Cameroon to see him play in person for the first time. Mbah a Moute told me after the game he wanted to remain in San Antonio for an extra day or two so he could spend time with them, but was uncertain whether he would be allowed to do so.
"I don't know because we have the team meeting Monday,'' he said. "It would be nice to do it."
Final word on the season, and then see you all in September for football:
Is the NCAA tournament worth it? 64 teams out of 65 go home defeated, depressed and feeling as if their season was not so great.
For all its criticism, football with its 30-something bowls produces 30-something winners. They all end the season quite happy.

I guess I'm to lame to get your post on this thread.
Even with 30 bowl games in football it still seems to me that there will be 30 teams not feeling good about themselves...what's your point?
so OTT, are you saying you enjoy the bowl system? rewarding mediocre teams with sparsely attended bowls named after websites?
news flash: college basketball is competition. just because U$C happens to be better at football, doesn't mean you can argue for everything to be like it. if basketball was a bowl system, USC would have played Purdue or Marquette or Oklahoma in the WhoCares.com Bowl in Little Rock or Santa Fe, and you guys never would have had a chance to prove yourselves. march madness gives everyone that chance.
(too bad USC couldn't take advantage... i hear you were a pretty big sleeper.)
ask Davidson or Western Kentucky fans if their season was a success... they'll answer your question for you.
