but Seton Hall went on a 10-0 run to start the 2nd half and its a 5 point game.

As we get closer to tip can you let us know how many UCLA fans are there? I’m curious what kind of turnout we’ll have in NY.

math tutoring half an hour into the game, at least I’ll have my blackberry
go bruins

AA saw a lot of playing time last night against the Cavs with a very tough assignment: LeBron. Doug Collins reports that he did quite well, and his +/- of +12 (highest on the team) does back this up.

but they’re not quite sure where to go and how to work together yet. It looks like chaos at times out there for them. You can see their potential, but also how far away they are from being a really strong team. They’re going to be interesting to watch as the year goes on.

USC- 53, Seton Hall- 51 :: 7:32 remaining

I get the same feeling when I watch the football team from x-town.

Sarah Palin give an interview during “Turkey Pardon” press conference in Alaska, while right behind her Turkeys were getting Fargoed! LMFAO.

SC trails Seton Hall by 3 with 15 seconds to go, but has the ball

was that game on?

He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is talking during the Duke game halftime show on my DVR right now…and man!, is he orange!

They trail by one and Seton Hall will inbounds after the TO.

They lead by 19 with 5 to go.

2 point game with 4.1 to go

as Hackett missed the 3 at the buzzer.

The Pirates had 7 scholarship players available.

with 7 scholarship players

Rookie hazing by the ESPN Shootaround crew.

They are finishing strong in this game. That’s for sure.

I’m stuck with some work for a bit longer….anyone know when the game will start?

More than half of our starters have never been regular starters before. And we depend a lot on freshmen for significant bench players.
Tonight could be a “schooling” in the wrong direction.
Maybe we get the Jrue Holiday breakthrough game … Go Bruins!

I tune into the Lizard of Westwood.

this is killer though, i’m literally gonna get to see 5 minutes or so of the first half, hopefully im out for the end

Who the hell voted Dicky V into the Hall of Fame – and what Hall of Fame might that be? The huge blowhards of the world? Worst announcers of all time?

I’ll go 68-64 Bruins

Have number of friends who are Wolverines. We have a great friendly rivalry and we have been commiserating this football season. I don’t want to lose this one!

Didn’t see that quickness the last 2 years

Coast to coast!

we can’t afford to get in foul trouble

it real tight

Fouls calls early…doesn’t seem like they’re going to let the kids play physically

Keefe

“adam keefe” lol

Are these Pac 10 Refs?

On Shipp

with the gurad at the high post again

BS call on JS.

While four Wolverines maul Aboya…nice.

is not conducive to Ben Ball defense.

for 3

Three pointer.

Shots we have to hit and Keefe hit it.

JH is good

fantastic start

Extended to the perimeter. Great start. Gotta keep up the pressure.

UCLA 9- Mich 1

9-1 with 15:36 to go

Couldn’t ASK for a better opening four and a half minutes – Michigan 000% from the field and 1 of 2 at the line. Bruins with HOW many rebounds?

Oh great, Jrue is a Diaper Dandy…

First “Diaper Dandy” reference

on D thus far.

A’s to Keefe, Darren, Jrue
B’s to rest
AA stop bring ball down low after rebounds
Big ups to James, defense, drains 3, off rebound

this is tough especially after getting a taste of this game…I hope we don’t lose focus and do not let down

go brins!

That 3 was no hesitation. Asserting himself down low for position on rebounds.

has been especially pleasing so far inside and out…and now im out

DC a little undecided there

not such a good pass by DC

and CBH puts a stop to it right away

needs to be on the other elbow on that

2 straight turnovers as we execute badly against their zone. Is school now in session?

Have not been good for the Bruins. I think they got a bit overconfident during the timeout

Time to keep playing our game, not theirs.

who is this calling this game John McCain?

he seems pretty good.

once again with the block

Driving home…

Lightening!

But I really like the way we’re rebounding right now.

will beat teams. We will wear them down

If we can hold onto the ball and stay out of foul trouble we should be okay.

UCLA 11
Michigan 0

Can you be unhappy with that?

JH makes big statement by rejecting Harris’ 3. Awesome defense by Jrue so far, and he’s hitting his shots.
Oddly, Josh is a bit shaky starting out.

is whacked.

My buddy and I are in the process of making a t-shirt. It will read “IT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON” I’ll send images of the shirt when it’s completed next week. We’ll make it available to the Bruins Nation soon.

LONG 3

Not much you can do about that

Was the ref counting?

Maybe a little panic from the defense?

Needs to settle down on offense.

Tempo, tempo, tempo… I’m loving it

BATTLING INSIDE

Nice putback

2nd effort basket

Dude travelled and no call

Michigan picking up 3 boards in that possession.

HOW many seconds was the Wolverine in the paint for? They went from calling anything to calling nothing.

is about a year from being ready, but this will be a good test.

Jerime continues to have problems at pg, can’t make a pass.
I worry that JA’s confidence is starting to suffer. We might be asking too much, too soon from him.
This will be a big issue long term for resting Darren.

Gibson charged

Other guys gotta get back though

YESSSS

“puts him in the popcorn machine”

Jrue is 1 and done.

by Mike Roll.

DC is not playing well at all on offense (except for those two drives).

but SHOOT THE BALL. He’s shot over 50% from 3 in back to back years yet he passes up open shots. I understand that he wants to initiate the offense, but we need him to score more this year. if he gets the open shot, he needs to take it.

We are outshooting them and out rebounding them. TO’s are the reason it’s close.

as competition gets better, it’s tougher for the frosh like JA, Drew and Malcolm. But Jrue seems to be very comfortable with this game.
Don’t see as much comfort in Josh or Darren yet.
I’d say Alfred has been pretty solid.

we attacked the zone with some lobs because their was only 1 guy on the back line; it helped that we had Love, Mata, and LRMAM. It looks like our guards are trying to do too much today, hence the turnovers.

Heads up

Wow … great first half so far.

Putting the ball on the floor by Roll. Very nice.

Leads to short jumper for DC

Great couple of sequences on both sides of the ball!

We are handling the ball better

Michigan reels us back in. They’re a much better team than the one we saw last year.
