When Muhammad was introduced by TruTV Friday during UCLA’s NCAA Tournament game against Minnesota...

As if it wasnt already a given, UCLA head coach Ben Howland started spinning the conversation following the Bruins' final home game against Arizona earlier this month when he declared it was the last game for his star freshman Shabazz Muhammad at new Pauley Pavilion.

MINNEAPOLIS Since the matchup was announced on Sunday, the Minnesota men's basketball team liked the draw it received in its first NCAA tournament game against UCLA.
The absence of Jordan Adams for the Bruins might have something to do with that.
Adams, a 6-foot-5 freshman guard, suffered a broken foot in the Pac-12 semifinal game Friday against Arizona. It happened on the final...

A truly rewarding journey isn't easy. There are wrong turns, detours, and delays. The college basketball season is 30 games long, and the Golden Gophers got lost along the way, and more than once looked like they wanted to give up and go home.

The UCLA cheerleaders are to college hoops what the USC Song Girls (USC Cheerleaders) are to college football. Both in L.A. both draw from that ridiculously superior talent pool.
So the UCLA cheerleaders...
