3 for 3 for 12th seeds.
In an era when young players work with the finest trainers, crisscross the country going to tournaments and change high schools three or four times in search of the best showcase for their talents, the lengths families go to groom a pro prospect is well-known.
Still, the Los Angeles Times managed to uncover a nugget about heralded UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad that is definitely eye-opening.
According to a story published hours before UCLA's opening-round NCAA tournament game against Minnesota on Friday night, Muhammad is one year older than he and his family have claimed he is. UCLA's men's basketball media guide lists his date of birth as Nov. 13, 1993, but Times reporter Ken Bensinger discovered that his birth certificate on file with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health shows was born exactly one year earlier.
Bye bye G'town. I knew you were a fraud.
Bean, seriously, are you like in 7th grade or something?
At least he HAS a birth certificate.Doesn't really mean anything now that he is in college, but still, kind of shady for when he was playing high school ball.

Remember our bet.. first team to win the NC....
Haha......I'd rather be beholden to BYU than Gonzaga in an open ended bet like that. I think BYU has the much higher ceiling over the next 10 years as far as deep tourney runs are concerned. This was Gonzaga's best shot and they blew it.
