This is the 31st time UCLA will be playing in the Round of 16.

Kevin Love’s 621 points rank No. 20 on UCLA’s season list and are the most since 1998, when J.R. Henderson scored 626.
Kevin Love’s 382 rebounds rank No. 9 on the season list, just two behind No. 8 Sidney Wicks (384 in 1971).
Darren Collison’s three-point percentage of .516 is the best in school history for one season.
Russell Westbrook’s 1,214 minutes rank No. 2 for a season since minutes started being recorded in 1979.
