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.

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

3 turnovers already
But Jrue has all 5 points.
Am I the only one here?

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.

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

Breakout game for Holiday?
I’d like to see him take over a few games.

We’re going to need them late in the season.

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!

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

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!

He needs to get going

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.

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.

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.

Can Jrue outscore FI for the game?
That would be great

Jrue and DC combined are more than doubling FIU
Jrue with 20, DC with 11.

DC's day should be over
Lee with a great move to draw a foul and he drains both FTs. UCLA up 60-17.

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.

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….
