The UCLA Daily Bruin says it's been 12 years since they made it to the Final Four.

The three teams in the Final Four are the last three teams to beat the Bruins: No. 2 Stanford, No. 6 Washington and No. 1 Nebraska, whom UCLA faces on Thursday at 4 p.m. PST at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb. The Qwest Center venue and the Nebraska team are both all-too familiar to the Bruins. Last season, UCLA was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16 by the Cornhuskers in front of a then-NCAA record 14,489 fans, many of whom made the trip from Lincoln to cheer on the 'Huskers.

Let's hope we give the Bruins a similar welcome to Omaha this year.
