"...UCI earned the school's first NCAA appearance by
winning the Big West Tournament with a 67-58 triumph
over Hawaii on Saturday night at Honda Center.
The Anteaters fell one victory short of the tournament
last season.
UCI (21-12) will be considered a significant underdog
against Louisville (24-8), though the Anteaters are tough
and pose a matchup problem whenever 7-foot-6 center
Mamadou Ndiaye is on the floor."
