For the first time in the NCAA era, UCLA is your national champion. The Bruins cap a historic season with a dominant showing in the national championship game in Phoenix. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce take you through Final Four weekend, hit on the coaching carousel that ramped up on Saturday and key in on some of the key names to hit the (now open) transfer portal. Then, against his better judgment, Rob turns back the clock to the first episode of the season, to see where he was right... and where he was very, very wrong in his predictions.
