@ Oregon State Video Highlights

by Telemachus on Jan 2, 2009 10:56 PM PST Comment 10 comments

A couple of JH highlights to start off:

Nice dunk and even nicer offensive rebound and assist. We've seen flashes of JH's athleticism and I almost feel like Holiday is pacing himself so that he'll peak at the right time (March).

(More highlights follow)

Three-pointer of the game:

Is DC auditioning with that NBA-range three pointer?

Quote of the post-game show:

As Nestor referenced in his post-game piece, it does seem that Tracy Murray channels BN with his "Ben Ball Warriors" remark at the beginning of FSN's Bruins Live show.

Full game highlights:

Good start of conference play. Giving opponents concern about sticking with the zone, but not leaving them much option. Sloppiness in the second half keeps our guys humble and listening to CBH as he hones them into tournament shape.

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.

I like what I'm seeing.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves!

But I do like what I am seeing! DC’s leadership is great!

MR is seriously en fuego lately

there were a lot of good things, I liked seeing Drew get some nice tip backs and making cuts, thats gotta be his bread and butter on the offensive end. DC was obviously great, his speed was blistering, JS was solid, and the JH stepped up to start the Pac 10 season off right.

Good start fellas, Go bruins

O.A.

DC is such a gangsta on defense

dude he just ripped the ball out of that guy’s hands… seems like DC and Roll are playing with mad confidence…. Roll as if he can make every single shot (and does it) and DC just out running everyone down the floor

Agree with the sentiment, but disagree on the vocabulary

I disagree that Collison is a “gangsta.” First and foremost, I don’t think “gangsta” is a word, at least in the English language or the version of it that I learned at UCLA. Second, and I guess also foremost, a “gangster” implies membership in a gang of thugs. The college of choice for thugs is on Figueroa, not Westood Boulevard.

I agree that Collison played a great game, and his speed and quickness are unmatched. To put that in context, I think Collison is as good a guard as we have ever had, and that takes in guards going back to Walt Hazzard.

Drew Gordon

Why isn’t this guy starting?..he is waaay better than JF!!!..I love how he cuts to the basket and is so athletic with rebounds and shot blocks..he looks like a superstar to me..i don’t understand why he doesn’t play 20-30 minutes a game..is it conditioning?

I love snap comments

Based on few game samples without taking into account CBH and his staff’s analysis.

Not to mention that

the extra letters ("waaay") and triple exclamation marks (“… better than JF!!!”) are built on faulty data. Unless Jordan Farmar has returned to Westwood through some eligibility loophole (in which case, I would question the assertion), I’m guessing bb means JK. And, if so, I would still question the assertion.

There is great serenity in knowing that we have a great coach.

Team is looking good

OSU wasn’t much of a test, but the game was never in doubt and it also gave us an opportunity to let the bench and freshmen play some quality minutes (nevermind that Roll is on our bench and could easily be starting right now).

If SUC can beat Oregon, then so can we. We need an away-sweep of the Oregon schools. Another win should allow us to move up the polls next week.
