UCLA and USC Learn Their NCAA Path

Los Angeles' two most popular college basketball teams booked their tickets to the NCAA tournament Sunday.

UCLA (22-10) earned the No. 7 seed in the Southeast Region. The Bruins will face No. 10 Michigan State in Tampa, Fla., on Thursday at approximately 6:20 p.m. The game will be broadcasted on TBS. If the Bruins get past the Spartans then they'll play the winner of Thursday's Florida-UC Santa Barbara matchup in the third round.

USC had to sweat out Selection Sunday after it lost to Arizona in the semifinals of this past weekend's Pac-10 Tournament, but despite a 19-14 record, the Trojans were one of the final teams selected into the field of 68. USC faces VCU on Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio in a first round play-in game for the right to join the Southwest Region. The game will be aired on TruTV at 6:10 p.m.

If the Trojans advance, they'll face sixth-seeded Georgetown.
