Answers inside!
The VCU Rams (2011) & UCLA Bruins (2021) hold the record for the most successful NCAA men's basketball "play-in" (First Four) team, advancing from the First Four to the Final Four. UCLA eventually lost to Gonzaga in overtime, VCU lost to Butler in the Final 4. ** Edited by UTPr0sim at 3/18/2026, 10:06:07 AM

Did UCLA make it to the final game? In 2011 VCU made it to the final 4
but lost in the semi's, according to Google. I looked it up after you said I was wrong. Just curious.
