It’s the Bruins’ second consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, but this one is traditional, which is a welcome change from last year’s bubble experience.
PORTLAND, Ore. — UCLA has been to the NCAA Tournament before.This year’s tournament is normal – which is different – for the Bruins.
The experience is what junior Jaime Jaquez Jr. feels is the biggest difference this year, even though they haven’t played a tournament game yet. Jaquez, along with Tyger Campbell, Johnny Juzang, Jules Bernard, and Cody Riley – the five players who started in last year’s national semifinal against Gonzaga – will all play when the fourth-seeded Bruins meet 13th-seeded Akron in a first-round game on Thursday night at the Moda Center.Jaquez and Juzang answered questions from the media on Wednesday, then Coach Mick Cronin came out and fielded his share. As traditional as that sounds, it didn’t exist last season.
