NCAA Tournament preview: #6 UCLA vs #11 Virginia Commonwealth

 

East Regional Matchup


No. 6 UCLA (26-8) 65, No. 11 Virginia Commonwealth (24-10) 64
Key Moment: VCU's Eric Maynor's jumper at the buzzer fell short to help the Bruins survive
High Point Scorers: UCLA -- Josh Shipp 16  VCU: Maynor 21
Analysis: A great game that everyone expected. VCU never grew weary and had its chances to win. UCLA knew it was going against a partial crowd. But coach Ben Howland's program has won a first-round game for the fourth consecutive year.
What's Next: UCLA advances to the second round to face No. 3 Villanova, which rallied past American, 70-57. Yes, this will a more partial crowd for the Wildcats who play three games each year at the Wachovia Center. If the Bruins can play their great style of defense, they can win. If Darren Collison gets Villanova's Scotty Reynolds, then he has to lock down on Reynolds.
