Whistles might help UCLA, but there are other reasons it will be tough to get all four No. 1 teams to the Final Four.
There have been four overtime games and plenty of upsets, but the four favorites -- North Carolina, UCLA, Kansas and Memphis -- survived the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament. Don't count on them all getting through next weekend, though. That hasn't happened since the NCAA began seeding the field in 1979.

The way Flynn Robinson sees it, the Lakers' all-time record for consecutive victories was never seriously imperiled even as the Houston Rockets bumped off foe after foe through February and into the middle of March.
