Mike Regalado has a story up on BRO's home page about the tournament and UCLA's chances. He notes we rate fifth of the eight teams in terms of the oddsmakers' projecting chances to win the tournament. We trail favorite Arkansas, second choice LSU, and the tied-for-third choices Oregon State and Coastal Carolina (Note: UCLA HC John Savage, interviewed prior to the series start, asked about which team has the strongest pitching staff in the WCS answered Coastal Carolina while also mentioning LSU and Arkansas. The Bruins could have the best staff of relievers though.
We start today against Cinderella Murray State but after that we have to play either Arkansas or LSU, the two top picks to win the whole thing. Sure hope it's in the winners' bracket in our second game
