They have had more than a week off since their last game in the Big Apple. Per practice reports Coach Howland has been trying out a a little motion offense during practices this week. It will be interesting to see the result of those practices tonight when they take on Florida International Golden Panthers.

The tipoff is scheduled for 4:30 pm PST.  Once again it will be broadcast on FSNPT. You can track it via the official site.

As always if you are watching the game, share your instant thoughts/commentary here in our game thread.

Fire away.

GO BRUINS.

Prime Ticket

How long will it take for them to realize UCLA isn’t ranked #22?

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 4:37 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

3 turnovers already

But Jrue has all 5 points.

Am I the only one here?

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 4:39 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Jrue Tracker

7 points already. He’s getting inside with ease, looking like he can light up FIU for about 30 if he wanted to.

UCLA up 9-4, 15:43 left in the first.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 4:44 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Amazing start for Jrue

Offensive board and put back on a missed 3 by Drag. 11-4 UCLA, 9 pts for Jrue.

Where is everyone?

I don’t get PT, so I can’t even watch the game.

by GoBruins98 on Nov 29, 2008 4:46 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Dragovic and Gordon

are the first subs.

Gordon with a nice defensive board, now draws a charge.

Breakout game for Holiday?

I’d like to see him take over a few games.

by GoBruins98 on Nov 29, 2008 4:49 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Roll in for Shipp

Gordon / Drag / Roll / Holiday / Collison

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 4:51 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

3-on-2 break

Roll to Collison to Holliday for the layup and a trip to the FT line after the commercial break.

19-5 UCLA, 11:18 to go.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 4:53 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

And-1

Jrue makes the FT. 12 pts so far. Now Malcolm Lee comes in for Jrue.

20-5 UCLA.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 4:55 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Bobo in too

UCLA full courts. Lee with the steal, then athletically throws the ball off the FIU guy as he goes out of bounds!

Roll for 2! UCLA up 22-5.

Thanks for the play by play Raisin

26-5 UCLA, 9:43

Great feed on the break from Roll to Aboya.

Football update

Oregon leads Oregon state, 17-7 midway through the 2nd quarter

by bruinhoo on Nov 29, 2008 5:04 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Go Beavers!

sadly, the beavs just missed a chip shot FG. Ducks offense looking very good so far.

by bruinhoo on Nov 29, 2008 5:07 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Anderson with the steal

after Keefe helps on a hedge. On the fast break, Jerime takes it up for a layup and is fouled. He makes the FT!

UCLA up 31-7 with 7:34 to go.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:04 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

2 more FTs for FIU

UCLA up 31-9.

Bobo in the post. He got doubled, spun out and got fouled (missed the shot).

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:05 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

J'Mison Makes 1 of 2

32-9 UCLA, about 7:10 to go.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:06 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

FIU cracks double digits around 6:05

32-11.

Jerime misses a 3, Malcolm Lee couldn’t save it. Jerime is really able to get in the paint with ease, he just isn’t or cannot go all the way to the bucket.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:09 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Jerime looked solid, now is out

All the freshman have except Malcolm Lee (though his athleticism is unmistakable).

UCLA up 32-11 but has 9 turnovers.

Gordon / Drag / Shipp / Holiday / Collison on the court.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:11 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

DC with a nice move from behind the 3 point line all the way to the basket

Now a steal and he’s fouled in transition.

UCLA up 34-11 with 3:45

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:13 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

DC sinks both FTs

36-11, 3:45. DC with 7 points.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:14 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Lee will be very good

Can’t wait to see him at the end of the year.

by GoBruins98 on Nov 29, 2008 5:13 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I know it's taboo on this board...

but I am going to go ahead and look ahead to Thursday’s game at Texas.

by SmrtGuy82 on Nov 29, 2008 5:14 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Holiday with the block now!

Stuffing that stat sheet.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:18 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

UCLA will have the last shot on another steal

Holiday beats the buzzer with a 3-pointer from the corner!

46-13 at half time. Jrue with 15 points!

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:20 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Jrue is

6 for 6 (1 for 1 from beyond the arc), 2 for 2 from the FT line.

15 pts, 2 rebounds (both offensive), 2 assists, 1 block.

SPTR's alive and well in Corvallis

a uncatchable pass interference call keeps a late Oregon drive alive. 23-10 Ducks, 1:19 in the 2nd qtr

by bruinhoo on Nov 29, 2008 5:38 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

Horrible call.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:41 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

bailed out the Ducks

Oregon ends up scoring a TD, thanks to that call.

by bruinhoo on Nov 29, 2008 5:43 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

followed by a pick-6

Ducks take a 37-13 lead just before the half.

by bruinhoo on Nov 29, 2008 5:46 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Pitt/WSU looks like a good game

Would be nice to see the Pac-10 step up

by GoBruins98 on Nov 29, 2008 5:40 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

between us, ASU, and USC all losing games early on the pac-10 is not looking too strong. Washington almost pulled out against Florida but we could really use this win.

by turs12 on Nov 29, 2008 6:45 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Sorry guys

Missed the first few minutes of the second half while watching the Civil War.

UCLA has extended the lead to 54-15 with 16:58 on an Aboya dunk, Holiday FT, Collison layup and a Shipp 3.

Now Holiday scores again (18 pts) on a layup. 56-15, 16:06.

20 for Jrue

DC's day should be over

Lee with a great move to draw a foul and he drains both FTs. UCLA up 60-17.

UCLA is going with Aboya / Drago / Shipp / Lee / Anderson

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:50 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

FIU with 5 straight points

Shipp answers with a long 3. UCLA up 63-22, 12:55 to go.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:51 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I'm guessing it will be bench the rest of the way

Gordon / Drago / Roll / Lee / Anderson.

Malcolm cuts inside, gets fouled. UCLA up 63-25 with 11:36 to go.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:54 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Scratch that about the starters...

Lee for 3, no good. Keefe puts it back in. 65-26 UCLA.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:56 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Jerime misses a 3

Lee tries to tip it in and is fouled. Somehow not a shooting foul.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 5:57 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Bobo in for Gordon who just committed a foul on defense

Morgan / Keefe / Roll / Lee / Anderson

Oof, Bobo nearly hit an 8-footer. It just rattled out.

Bobo with great position, is fouled as he goes up.

by Raisin on Nov 29, 2008 6:00 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

J'Mison goes 1 for 2

UCLA up 68-30 with about 9:30 to go.

Nice hook shot from Bobo

This time he makes it. I like his hook. He has some nice post moves.

football update

USC is absolutely dominating ND. Don’t get the civil war or the bball game out here so i’m watching the football game. SC’s athletes are incredible. They’re outclassing ND in every aspect of the game. We’re gonna have a tough week ahead of us….
