St. Bonaventure takes on UCLA as both teams fight to stay alive in the NCAA Tournament. Here’s what you need to know to watch the game on TV and online.
UCLA and St. Bonaventure have to make it through the First Four play-in game to make it to the 2018 NCAA Tournament. The winning team goes on to play No 6 Florida.
No 11 UCLA fought to stay in the top half of the Pac-12 standings, finishing the regular season 11-7 in conference and 21-11 overall. Despite their struggles, UCLA made it to the Big Dance while USC was relegated to the NIT. The Bruins lost to top seed Arizona in the Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals, but a confident coach Steve Alford didn’t think the team would have trouble making it into the tournament. “I thought our complete body of work, I didn’t have a lot of anxiety that we were going to get in,” he said. Landing in the First Four was not where he envisioned, but it looks like the losses to Oregon State and Colorado might have hurt UCLA’s chances at a higher berth.
The Bonnies finished second in the Atlantic 10 Tournament behind Rhode Island. St. Bonaventure finished 14-4 in conference and 25-7 overall, entering the Atlantic 10 Tournament riding a 13-game winning streak that was snapped in the semifinals. The Bonnies have what it takes to keep UCLA in check coming into the First Four, but they’ll have to contend with a Bruins team that has every intention of making it through to the First Round.
