The Bruins are a No. 3 seed in the Hemisfair Region of the NCAA tournament, announced Monday, and will face No. 14 Wyoming in the first round on March 22 at 7 p.m. PDT. The four regions of the NCAA tournament are named after San Antonio attractions, honoring the city that will host the entire event during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Bruins, who were ranked ninth in Monday’s AP poll, are trying to advance to their fifth straight NCAA regional semifinal. UCLA took it a step further in 2018 with an Elite Eight berth, but the program has never been to the Final Four.
