Having survived five close calls in the last two weeks, UCLA seemingly has it easy in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. The top-seeded Bruins are favored by 32 points against 16th-seeded Mississippi Valley State.
History is on their side, too. No. 1 seeds are 92-0 against No. 16 seeds in the tournament.
"That's encouraging, isn't it?" Delta Devils coach James Green said Wednesday. "We've got to try to be the best No. 16 seed that's ever played in the tournament.
