UCLA Basketball Thread

[nate]

Cal doing their best to lose today.  Just got into a fight with Stanford.

[Lou]

wow, Cal getting rolled at home

[nate]

The Pac 12 is so awful.

[nate]

-- It's the first time UCLA has lost in Pullman in 20 years. Tyus Edney was a sophomore. 

-- Washington State out-rebounded UCLA 40-20. WSU's Junior Longrus played 8 minutes and had 4 rebounds, which is more than David Wear had (3) in 33 minutes and Shabazz Muhammad had (3) in 32 minutes.

Washington State jumped out to a 25-4 lead. Am I reading that right?

 

They came into the game with a conference record of 3-14 and were without two of their top players, yet they crush the Bruins?? That's just not right.

[nate]

Actually I think they were 2-14 going into the game.  Yeah, it was beyond pathetic.

 

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Howland.

[halobob]

Damn these Wednesday games, too easy to forget about since I'm used to the Thurs/Sat.  At least I was watching the Ducks win instead of the Bruins lose I guess.  Howland should be fired now, maybe that will light a fire under the players asses for the tourney.

[Lou]

That took care of any chance Howland had of salvaging his job.

[nate]

Cal, Oregon and UCLA all lose this week... amazing.

[Lou]

Cal will tie for the regular season title, but will get the #1 seed in the conference tournament.

 

Colorado is a completely different team at home. They're 11-2 @ home having lost to us by 3 and to ASU by 1 in OT.

 

i agree

[nate]

Nice.  The rest of your statement isn't true yet though.

[Lou]

it really wasn't my statement, but rather a response to rally saying that Cal wold win the conference if his scenario played out.

[nate]

Ah, yea.  My bad.  So now UCLA @ UW, Oregon @ Utah for the conference.

 

If Oregon loses and UCLA wins, Cal still gets the #1 seed right?

[RallyMo]

I think both LA and UO have to lose for Cal to have the one seed.

[RallyMo]

Howland deserves an extension.

[nate]

Knowing our AD that is always possible.

 

Watch them make the Sweet 16 some how and he keeps his job.  Watch it happen.

[fan_since79]

UCLA tied with Washington at 52, three minutes left. Bruins are 1-10 from 3-pt range and have been out-rebounded so far by 9.

[fan_since79]

Credit Larry Drew for this win. Bruins have at least a share of the PAC-12 title.

[Lou]

Great win!

Guaranteed at least a share of the PAC 12.title Yeah, i know the conference sucks, but it beats not winning a crappy confence

Ducks down by 10 to Utah. If Oregon loses, Bruins win title outright.

I'll take it.

[Lou]

Credit Larry Drew for this win. Bruins have at least a share of the PAC-12 title.

Washington must really hate Drew.

He also broke the single-season assist record. He played much better than anticipated.

[Lou]

Utah up 12 with 2:27 left.

Wow.

[nate]

Pac 12 is so bad...  Glad to win the conference though!

 

Oregon really fell apart to finish the season.

[Lou]

That took care of any chance Howland had of salvaging his job.

 

 

 

[Lou]

Big win for Boise St over SDSU today.

 

After losing their last 14 games going into the conf tourney, LMU beat USF and then Santa Clara.  

Next up.... #1 Gonzaga !   SHOCK THE WORLD !!!

 

 

(and only lose by less than 30)

[RallyMo]

Howland stays!
