Last Year in Seattle

by Telemachus on Jan 24, 2009 12:31 AM PST

The Bruins haven't won in Seattle over the last four seasons and one senior in particular might have an extra motivating factor in wanting to get the win against the Huskies today. Alfred Aboya's memory of last year's game is rather painful.

In one memorable play, the Huskies' Tim Morris averted a five-second violation by bouncing the ball out of bounds off UCLA center Alfred Aboya's face.

Not gonna dwell on the controversy following that play. Rather, Aboya showed his toughness then, shaking off the blow, and this year he has enough reason to want the win:

"I'm aware that I've never won there, and I want to win so bad," Aboya said.

We all know it's gonna be tough; let's see how our Bruins respond.

For those of you that forgot or have not seen the play, video replay follows.

Aftermath is worse

The fact that the refs did nothing about it.
The fact that Romar condoned it.
The fact that the announcers didn’t call them all out about it.
The fact that the Pac-10 didn’t discipline Morris.

That tells you all we need to know about the incompetence festering in this conference. That kind of conduct should never be condoned.

Still can't believe it.

What’s up guys, I’m a Cal student just checking out bruinsnation before our bball game against you guys tomorrow night.

I remember watching this play, and being amazed that this was allowed to happen. The announcer saying it’s a good play? WHAT! I didn’t have a rooting interest in this game at all, but throwing the ball off his face is ridiculous. Throw it off a leg or something, but slamming it off Aboya’s face is totally classless.
