In professional sports, there are no moral victories; you either win or you don't, and if you don't, well, why aren't you winning, loser? Fortunately, though the participants would likely deny it to the death, there are moral victories in the NCAA Tournament. Western Kentucky just captured one of them.

UCLA/Western Kentucky Outlook I’m not sure Western Kentucky should even bother showing up, seeing how no one in the free world is giving them much of a chance. All you hear is UCLA is going to blow them out and WKU is the weakest team left in the tournament. Maybe so, but while they are the lowest-ranked when it comes to RPI, they are still ranked 38th.

- #1 UCLA vs. #12 Western Kentucky (9:40 PM): Already more than one analyst has declared that WKU is going to pull off the monumental upset in this game. And one UCLA blog is seriously tempting the Weauxfgods with its rather brazen mocking of the Hilltoppers’ chances in tonight’s game. So we ask ourselves - is this possible?

Usually I’m calm and collected when watching a UCLA game. If they’re losing, I always think they’re going to come back. If they winning, the thought of the Bruins possibly blowing the lead seldom enters my mind.

* Standing applause for the Hilltoppers * I'm not a fan of moral victories in sports, but there are a few exceptions. Western Kentucky had no business being with 4 points of UCLA with 6:00 left. Even less, when you factor in that the Hilltoppers were down 21 points at halftime and refused to go down that way.
