UCLA has a basketball tradition like few other programs. However, nearly all of it was built in the 1960s and early 1970s by the late great coach John Wooden. Since 1975 the Bruins have only one national championship. But they are on the cusp of a Final Four berth. Standing in their way is Michigan. The Wolverines have been a top-rated program all season. And one of the best values on the board with the college basketball odds. Michigan coach Juwan Howard is a perfect fit at his alma mater. Howard inherited an excellent program and made it better.
