Garvin and 76, I agree with both of you, and not just because of the rest issue.  A win tonight, and I think we're an 8 or 9 seed, which means an east coast or midwest subregion (we won't be put in Arizona's subregion) and, if we advance, a chance to get blown out by a #1 seed playing a virtual home game (like Florida at Orlando).  A 10 seed would mean an infinitesimally harder first-round game followed by an easier second-round game, plus a chance to play a bit closer to home or, hopefully, farther from our opponent's fan base.

Either way, of course, I'll be rooting for the good guys tonight.  I always enjoy seeing UCLA lose.
