Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love continue to represent their Alma matter — but who joined them in doing so this year?

The NBA playoffs — aside from San Antonio’s second round stumble against Oklahoma City — have largely gone as we’d expect them to go.

In the Eastern Conference the top two seeds in Toronto and Cleveland made it to the third round with a shot at the NBA Finals on the line.

It is Toronto’s first time in this position in franchise history, with Cleveland returning after being here a season ago.

As exciting as all of it has been thus far, the fun fact of the matter is that the real winner in all of this is UCLA, who has one major alum on each team remaining.

Those left representing the Bruins include Russell Westbrook (OKC), Kevin Love (CLE), Norman Powell (TOR), and Kevin Looney (GSW).

Here’s a look at each of them and some insight into how their performances can get an extra boost with so much at stake in this round.
