Mandatory Credit: Marvin Gentry-USA TODAY Sports - 20086793No longer are there only four realistic contenders to claim No. 1 seeds in the upcomingStreaking UCLA has reeled off 10 straight victories to surge into the discussion with less than a week remaining until Selection Sunday.
Fueled by a smothering defense that chokes off passing lanes and surrenders nothing easy at the rim, UCLA bulldozed its way through a mediocre Pac-12 that may only have two other NCAA tournament teams. The Bruins clinched the outright Pac-12 title in late February, then validated that on Saturday with a convincing victory over rival Arizona.
UCLA’s collection of marquee wins isn’t as impressive as some other No. 1 seed hopefuls, but the Bruins did take down Kentucky on a neutral court and hand Maryland its lone home loss of the season, by 27 points no less. Mick Cronin’s senior-laden team also hasn’t lost at Pauley Pavilion all season, nor has it suffered a loss outside Quadrant 1.Houston is 27-2 overall and ranked No. 1 in every major metric.
