Any team seeded 1 or 2 can win this title. UCLA is the best coached team in this tournament. I like their chances. Go Bruins!

UCLA isn't going to win their 12th title anymore then Kentucky will win their 8th. They could potentially go to the Elite Eight, but I have them facing Kansas. Kansas is by far one of the toughest teams in that division and has one of the deepest benches I've seen in a long time.
Kansas went 30-4; beating Florida (the overrall #1 seed in the tourney), USC(#5), Boston College(#7), and Texas (#4) twice. 3 of their 4 losses were to teams in the tournament: Oral Roberts (#14), Texas A&M (#3), Texas Tech (#10), and DePaul. They're on a 11 game winning streak and have played well throughout the season (they're losses didn't come in bunches). They also won the Big 12 Championship over Texas.
UCLA on the other hand is 26-5 and 2 of their 5 losses have come in the last two games against teams that didn't even make the tournament: Cal and Washington. You also fail to mention that they lost to West Virginia who also failed to make the tournament. Their other two losses came to Stanford and Oregon, both in the 2nd half of the season. It looks to me as if UCLA has lost their swagger and no team that has lost their first game in their conference tournament has ever won the National Championship.
And even if UCLA makes it to the Final Four they'll more then likely have to face the Florida Gators. A Florida team that was beating opponents in their conference tournament by an average of about 16 points. The same conference that is ranked #2 in the RPI over the Pac-10. And once again, UCLA went out of their conference tournament in the first round. I don't think they could beat Florida either.
If I'm betting the odds, I'm betting against UCLA for sure.

Uh, is that the team that lost in the first round of their conference tournament? The team that has the longest loosing streak of any Pac-10 team that is going to the dance?
They will be lucky to get past the second round. I call one win and out.
Good players, just not a team.

I picked UCLA to win it all because I am a Bruin and I think they lost the last two games because they knew they were in the tourney and they wanted to screw around a bit and not get injured. I believe in Luc richard, darren collison, josh shipp, arron afflalo, and especially lorenzo mata..watch him step up.

They also lost to the Cal Bears in their first PAC-10 tourney game.
