Our game will start around 6:55pm PT. For those that care, the Lakers-Heat game starts at 5pm, so by the time UCLA comes on, the lakers should be sufficiently behind that you can change the channel without missing anything :). not that anyone would actually choose the nba over the tournament, would they?

As far as our perceived chances of winning, Vegas has us as about a 3.5 point underdog. This roughly translates to oddsmakers believing we have a 39% chance of winning. To compare, in other 6-11 matchups, LSU is -2.5 over UAB, Utah is -3 over UTEP, and Wisconsin is -7.5 over Northern Iowa.

This game will test our basketball skills and require maxiumum effort, but it is winnable. More comments specifically on the game later.
