Bruins (+) over Mustangs- Well, we all know the storyline here as all the experts are screaming about the Bruins being selected over many other worth teams after scoring single-digits in their first half when facing Kentucky in December. Another focal point here will be SMU coach Larry Brown who led UCLA to the Finals while there as head coach 1979-81. Trends tend to clash here as the Mustangs are 6-1 ATS in their last seven against teams with .600 or better winning percentage while UCLA is 6-0 ATS in their last six against teams with winning records. SMU makes their first NCAA appearance since 1993 while the Bruins feel that they have something to prove is making their 47th appearance and have advanced three straight years and four of the last five seasons. Take UCLA!
