UCLA Bruins (19-13, 11-7) vs. Arizona Wildcats (21-10, 12-6) -- 5:30 pm on FSN
Pac-12 Quarterfinals; Los Angeles, CA
Season Series: Tied 1-1
Robby's pick: UCLA. There's been the off the court distractions affecting the Bruins of late, but I feel like they'll be better composed than the younger Wildcats.
Minnesota Golden Gophers (18-13, 6-12) vs. Northwestern Wildcats (18-12, 8-10)
Big Ten Tournament 1st Round; Indianapolis, IN
Season Series: Tied 1-1
Robby's pick: Minnesota. The Gophers' bubble burst a few weeks ago, but don't think they'll let that get to their heads. There is an enormous gorilla on the backs of the Wildcats and that pressure may crush them in Indy.
