Big 12, Big Ten best with 7 teams in NCAA tourney. Who'll get most wins? http://apne.ws/1Cklw77  (@oskargarcia)

UCLA does not a single vote in neither the AP nor the Coaches poll following the regular season.

Hogs are #21 in the AP and #20 in the Coaches.

Cougars hot, Rebels not entering the NCAA Tournament http://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/2015/03/16/cougars-hot-rebels-entering-ncaa-tournament/24849945 ...

OXFORD - – The waiting and wondering is over.

Ole Miss is indeed headed to the NCAA Tournament.

Now, the question becomes can the Rebels actually do something now that they're in?

"We have new life," said Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy, whose squad will face fellow No. 11 seed BYU on Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio at 8:10 p.m. "We have new energy."

The Rebels (20-12) were certainly in need of some...
