From the diaries. Don't forget our Lady Bruins. GO BRUINS -N

I'm a member of the band with the Women's team during the NCAA tourney, and I got a few pictures.

About the actual game, our women played pretty well, there was a short defensive lapse in the 2nd half where Bowling Green got within single digits, but Lisa Willis rained down 4 threes and the Falcons just couldn't keep up. I love watching our women's team play, except sometimes there are a few reckless moments when they're trying to be too fancy, but it's fun to watch their up-tempo game (not to rip on our men's style of play though).

The band actually got to stay with the team in the same hotel as well as fly on the same chartered flight, and it's great to see the players outside of the games. Since we were here already on saturday, we actually had to find a sports bar to watch the men's game (The Gonzaga vs. Indiana game was on locally). When Arron Afflalo hit that three late in the 2nd half, we all went nuts, and all the locals looked at us funny. Of course we did an Eight-Clap when we won.

More pics later after we play Purdue. What the heck is up with their home-court advantage though?? And don't say no one shows up to women's games because we were at the purdue vs. Missouri St. and the place had a pretty large amount of fans

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

Thanks for the pics ...

It's be great if you share with us a little more on the game from your perspective since you were there. GO BRUINS.

THANKS!

As someone with a 9 year old daughter that aspires to someday play for UCLA, I really appreciate this diary and will share it with her.

GO BRUINS!

any time Paul

Just don't let her see what I write on Lavin! That content is Rated-R (and Lavo deserves it).

Wonderful post ...

Let me echo what Ajax, Nestor, and Paul have already said. Great post. I would love to see more posts like these ones from our band members here on BN. Its a great way to keep a displaced Bruin alum in the East Coast connected and give us a little slice of California and Westwood. Thanks again for this post. Go Bruins.
