Update on Love & Moute

From ESPN:

Love:

He and the rest of the Bruins (31-3) returned to practice Tuesday after taking two days off.
"He seemed to be in good spirits," Howland said. "He might have been a little sore." Love is receiving treatment on his back, but he was not limited in practice. The center is expected to start Thursday against 16th-seeded Mississippi Valley State (17-15), coming in on a nine-game winning streak. The third-ranked Bruins have won 10 in a row. If he's able to make it through an entire practice, I'm fairly confident his back injury is not that serious.

From the same article, regarding Luc: Mbah a Moute sprained his left ankle for the second time this season in Friday's Pac-10 tourney semifinal win against Southern California and didn't play in the title game. He didn't practice Tuesday because he had a final exam, but he did some light shooting. The junior forward, a veteran of consecutive Final Four appearances, was off crutches and in a walking boot Sunday. "I assume if he's able to do some light shooting he's not in the walking boot, but I don't know," Howland said. "If he's able to go, we'll play him on Thursday." Definitely good news here too.  I hope Moute sits Thursday, even if he's able to play.  Given how Keefe played against Stanford, I don't think UCLA needs Moute against the Delta Devils. From the same article, check out this statistic, which I hadn't seen before: : Of the four No. 1 seeds -- including North Carolina in the East, Memphis in the South, and Kansas in the Midwest -- the Bruins have played the most games against NCAA tournament seeds. They are 14-2 against the field, North Carolina is 9-1, Memphis 6-1 and Kansas 8-2.
Not too shabby. Hopefully UCLA can finish the year 20-2 against tournament teams.
