Tournament run means Hilltoppers are WK-who? no longer

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP)?When Tyrone Brazelton went home to Chicago in the spring of 2006 to tell family and friends that two years of hard work at junior college had landed him a basketball scholarship at Western Kentucky, the reaction was less than overwhelming.

?Some of the older people in the community in Chicago, they know about the history and the tradition and heritage (of Western Kentucky),? Brazelton said. ?But most of the younger people still ask me is it a Division II, so they don?t know much about it. They will now.?

Brazelton and the Hilltoppers have seen to that.

Contd...

UCLA squeaking by during 12-game winning streak

LOS ANGELES (AP)?UCLA seems to know only two ways to win these days? blowouts or squeakers. Five of the top-seeded Bruins? last eight wins have been by three points or less, another came after they forced overtime and two were double-digit routs.

They might want to find another way, with tougher teams looming on their path to a third consecutive Final Four.

Winners of 12 straight, the Bruins (33-3) play 12th-seeded Western Kentucky (29-6) Thursday night in the NCAA tournament regional semifinals in Phoenix.

I don't think his prediction/guess is that bad... UCLA has the better team but have been struggling as of late and if they continue that against the Hilltoppers it should be an interesting game. With that said a struggling UCLA team (that gets pivotal calls from the refs) is still better than a vast majority of the NCAA field.

UCLA up 13-10 early.

...And WKU just came unraveled after that lucky shot clock beating 3-pointer by UCLA. It sparked a run, and the lead is back to 12 with just over three minutes left.

UCLA running away with it now.
