UCLA coach Mick Cronin wasn’t exactly thrilled with the NCAA Division I men’s basketball committee’s tournament bracket preview seedings on Saturday.
The Bruins, ranked No. 4 in the nation, were not projected as one of the four No. 1 seeds for this year’s NCAA tournament. Instead, the committee placed UCLA as the eighth overall seed.
No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Houston, No. 3 Purdue and No. 5 Kansas were identified as the projected top seeds.
