PrintUCLA Bruins at Washington Huskies, Feb 20, 2010 6:00 PM PST
So on Thursday night the Bruins played at an arena (Friel Court) where they had won 16 games in a row. The role reverses tonight when the Bruins take the stage at Edmundson Pavillion, where they have an ugly 5 game losing streak. As mentioned in our game roundup this afternoon, the Bruins didn't win there even with AA, JF, KL, RW, LRMAM and other classic Ben Ball Warriors. Given how many reasons (which includes a national TV audience with tWWL's GameDay crew in attendance and senior day for Poindexter and crew) the Huskies (17-9, 7-7) have to be fired up for tonight's game, the pressure is going to be on the guys in purple to put together a dominating win.
In other words, the Bruins (12-13, 7-6) have nothing to lose with already one unexpected win in their current road trip. With that setting we can only hope the Bruins come out a little lose, but ready to play for 40 minutes with focus and intensity. Bruins will have to forget about a rabid home crow and also the SPTRs, who will come out giving the Huskies a ready made 8 on 5 powerplay for the entire 40 minutes. The game officially tips of at 6:05 PST. Dan Shulman is going to do play-by-play with Jay Bilas and Bob Knight doing color. Should be interesting to hear what Coach Knight and Bilas have to say about the two programs.
You can read up on all of our musings leading up to this game here. If you want to follow the game online you can do so via our official site. As always, we will be here in the game threads with our rapid fire takes and commentary. So let's get this party started. Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Can someone send me a justin.tv link
Or something similar please?
Personally
I think http://atdhe.net/ is better than Justin.tv. Hop on there and you’ll have a link for ESPN and probably another titled UCLA vs. Washington.

I am actually very interested
to see how our Bruins do tonight. At the risk of sounding stupid (not far-fetched) I think this game is very important. The game is on ESPN, and the young guys around the country will be able to check our team out. We need to put together an inspired effort, and hopefully play with some excitement. If we don’t, the recruits from around the country will see a team that many of us have seen. A team that is lackadasical, and give uninspiring effort. If we can put together a good game, even if we don’t win……..hopefully it will show some of the recruits that are watching that we are only a couple of good players away from being back on top.
Bad or Good, perception is everything. Especially perception on ESPN. As much as I hate to admit it, this game is important from a perception standpoint.
"I know I am lucky to be a basketball coach"
not the best soundbite…

They need some ball movement and they don’t have the guys in there that can do that. WU is out quicking them right now.
While there are things that frustrate me watching this team
The one thing that stands out above all else is that we’re just not as talented or as good as them. It’s been that case all year and that’s just sad considering we’re UCLA.

Nobody on this team

Keep Drago in the game
and we get what we deserve. He blows!! He blew that possession with a High School missed layup.
Because Lane can't
miss layups with the style that Drago can.
OK, this game is on me
I stayed out of the thread against wsu and we won.
I’m going to lurk and we will make a run and win.
Well, my lurking and pulling Drago and playing Bobo and Lane big minutes
sjh
How many games this season has he really contributed? 2 maybe 3?
I am just talking about offense. He has no defense.
can't believe how bad our point guards are
no penetration, bad passing, turnovers…
Yeah blame it on pgs
Who has been in the program for just 2 years while defending a selfish pr!ck who has been in the program for 4 years.

will take that into consideration
only seen one episode and Kristin Kreuk (sp?) was on it, so I guess the show is batting 1000 in that regard
I'm starting to get into Chuck
First saw it on a United flight last year, actually. Not a bad show, particularly given that consideration.

From what I've been told
Bobo spent a lot of time watching tape while he wasn’t playing and that’s why he seems to know what’s going on out there and showing good court vision. Good to see hard work pay off.

great pass by Bobo, he really should be our point guard

He doesn’t jack up shots because he actually listens to his coach.

glad someone got that reference
because we aren't far enough behind yet
sorry, I can’t lurk and take the blame if drago gets to play without blame

You guys for the most part have been around longer than me. Have you ever seen a player as hated as rago at UCLA?
No
I have followed UCLA hoops since 1988. I have never despises and hated someone so much in a Bruin uniform. I hate this loser more than a Trogan.
It is really on Howland
can’t hate ND, he’s not very good and that’s it.
But, goat or no goat, he shouldn’t be playing.
sjh
Well, not as much as a Trojan
but definitely think he should’ve been booted after the first run-in with the law. The fact he’s still around after two more run-ins? That’s the kind of crap that got Bob Toledo fired….
He had so many ups and downs...
and always played a low post, even on a high post offense.
My two favorite teams are UCLA and whoever is playing $C.

Check out the baseball section

I had a detailed 5 part preview there. I’ll also have a weekend preview on Thursday. Quickly though, Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer lead the team on Friday’s and Saturday’s as the starting pitchers. Justin Uribe is a solid hitter, as is Blair Dunlap and um….well everyone else we’ll find out about. Little proven talent with the bats.

Women's downhill just finished
Short track 1000m coming up

What an embarrassment......
and it all started with Ragu came back in after Lane hit the big 3-pointer. Flippin’ unreal. That is a joke. Bobo and Lane did some really nice things, the team had nice flow, and it was all ruined by that substitution. 14-0 run after that.
Listening to the players getting shredded by Knight and Bilas(?) on national TV for lack of effort and fundamentals is tough. Sadly, I think they are actually going easy on the team…
Quit making the theiving Wall Street Fat-Cat Bankers even richer.

That is all on Howland
Because he continues to reward a loser like Ragovic who has no respect for defense, fundamentals and patience.
If you have twitter accounts please retweet
Please retweet this:
@Ben_Howland continues to screw UCLA by wasting minutes on Ragovic.
another embarassment
on national tv. Can next season come any sooner?
Lane comes in and moves without the ball beautifully
and the run ends. Can Howland not see that? Bobo playing well too.

Howland's bench coaching
cost us this game. Huskies go on a 14-0 tear right after he benches Lane who made a 3 to close this game within 6.
Howland has done a great job at UCLA but he is proving to be a very average bench coach.
agree quarter-heartedly
This is a total annihilation. You can’t really assess bench-coaching in blowouts like this when absolutely nobody is playing well.
We absolutely can
When you let the most selfish player in the team set the tone from the first few plays.
Why should this team play hard?
When the head coach doesn’t reward his players for playing hard, playing D and wastes it on losers?
if nothing else, then for selfish reasons
All our guys want to be in the NBA. Exposure on ESPN means that they can perform at the highest level, if not for their coach, then for their own exposure.
Sure, it’s a sickening concept. But it’s also true. They do have reasons to play hard.
good point

Steve Rodriguez
hit his 2nd home run in as many games to make it 2-0 UCLA. He hit 2 all of last year, but the coaches spent a lot of time talking about the time he spent in the cage and weight room this offseason. Looks like it’s paying off.

someting screwed up with that subject line
should read: Outrebounded 19-10 in the first half

Lee and Roll a combined 0-9
three TOs for Lee; two assists for MR…
The tone of this game
Was set in the first three possessions when we settled for jacked up bricks from Ragovic. When Lane/Bobo came in we settled and got within 6, but then Howland f**ked it up.
Ragovic has only taken three threes
I don’t think they were all in the first three possessions.
We can play Lane the whole second half for ND if you like – what would you do with the rest of the underperforming? RN is playing one way only, ML is terrible tonight, MR is creating but not scoring.

that makes 2-16 with Rago
and our best offensive threat is not even trying on defense, and his name is Nelson

in 2-3 years nobody will care about this game
It’s a meaningless game in which we’re 11.5 dogs. I just think you’re overrating the importance of his decisions in these shitty circumstances. I hated the move to put Drago in, but it’s not like it cost us a game that was in our hands and we should’ve won. It doesn’t define coaching career.
i have my doubts
sure..final 4’s for 3 years, but getting blown out by halftime in 3 of those games! We had teams with 4 nba starters and couldn’t even stay in the games……sounds like coaching to me.

I watched a single game (admittedly little), but I didn’t see much of a defensive player from what I saw. More of a big body in the paint. Didn’t even make Player of the Game. I hope my initial impression is wrong…

Howland has lost all my trust
How the f*ck doesn’t he bench Ragovic for rest of the season? If Rago was actually trying hard and playing within himself, I would have had modicum of respect for Howland’s decision. He has done nothing and continues to skate just because he is apparently a senior.
Howland’s personnel management has been absolutely atrocious this season. Ultimately this is on him and some bullshit mea culpa at the end of the game about how he should have played Lane/Bobo more is not going to matter. He has lost all my trust after this game.
right
and no question which of them has more potential defensively.

Why not Bobo at 5?
RN at 4 and TH at 3. RN is getting killed at defense at 5 but would at least be better rebounder at 4 than ND.
Actually that is a bit of my worry
I am hoping he is better at 4
We'll see
But he’s been asked to guard a lot of larger guys. He does need better effort, for sure.

Howland in my eyes no longer gets a pass. His love affair with Drago is absolutely inexplicable. I no longer trust his ability to manage a game.
Well
You just said what I wrote above. I don’t trust his ability to manage a game any longer. It’s over.
Because
there is truly no other reason why ben plays this sorry ass player. i don’t care anymore, ben lost this team and it’s having players like drago getting minutes.

Who might be getting mins without having to play defense. Howland just likes his pets.
That's what Knight would say if he were leading...

Get Detlef
to practice with our Bruins.
Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.
Gutless Quitters
Just like Villanova game in the tourney last year…embarassing
And where is the accountability for Guerrero – why does he get a pass?
Guerrero’s new nickname should be ‘CBS’ = Can’t beat Stanford
We’re $c’s b1tch in Football (and basketball) and Stanford’s in just about everything else.
Where is the pride in those Four Letters? Where is the Excellence?
Pathetic.
How exactly does Guerrero get heat for this?

because he hired the guy who picked ND
unfortunately the buck stops with Guerrero, because Carnesale who hired Guerrero is no longer in charge.
by britishbruin on Feb 20, 2010 7:29 PM PST up reply actions
He hired a guy
who took us to three Final Fours and did it without a huge budget. He didn’t have his pick of any coach he wanted and he got the best he could. To blame this on DG is ridiculous.

Not that it matters.
but where is the charge on that play?
JA great block
leads to RN transition layup
er... some of those airballs were contested... er...

right
Lane looks much better today than ND.
by britishbruin on Feb 20, 2010 7:34 PM PST up reply actions
Lane has an excuse, he's a freshman, and he's had little playing time
ND has none.
As a senior, he should being bricking and barely airing, yet he’s airing more than expected.
31 points, 10 assists, 9 boards
RW’s final line.

Cody Regis was on 2nd
and Niko Gallego walked on a wild pitch. The ball went to the backstop and the catcher didn’t know where it was so Regis came around from 2nd to score while Gallego took 2nd.

They should just take down the score
and replace it with Ron Jeremy in a UW jersey and a pornstar of your choice in a UCLA jersey..
nice pass to ML
who can’t make an open layup…
I'm wondering if there's a mild infection going on. They always look tired, even at the start of the game.
Maybe screen for MERSA or something. RN always looks sick
I would think
But some of them have clammy, pale skin, especially RN. He just looks sick. He’s playing hard with a lot of enthusiasm, but he just looks sick.
Just found this on tWWW twitter after hearings.
“I can’t even say no comment on no comment,” USC president Steven Sample joked with reporters, then added. “It will come out. It will be great.”
Here’s the link: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10/post/_/id/8161/usc-makes-its-case-now-ncaa-will-decide-its-fate
Go Bruins!
And a point guard
and a defender and a center and some athleticism. We’re so close though!

If one team comes out of the pac
the fucking ncaa is a joke. asu, uofa and cal etc would kill these fucking pathetic a 10 teams
sick of this hate
Kudos to the Lady Bruins...
For playing some “Nikki Ball” and getting a victory. Guys take note.

They've had an entire season to take notes
The women have been playing the right way. The men, well you’re watching them.

36 turnovers today
It was a bit sloppy but a nice win.
by SuperBruinMan on Feb 20, 2010 7:44 PM PST up reply actions
The women aren't perfect by any means
but they’re 100% committed to the basics and bust their tails every game. I wish I could say that for the men, even when they lose.

Seriously!
If it weren’t for the refs we’d have won (I’m not trying to say you think that’s the problem).

another bad shot from Lee
followed by a foul.
He’s been pretty well caged by the defense tonight…
in what way?
sounds like he’s making excuses for us
by britishbruin on Feb 20, 2010 7:50 PM PST up reply actions
right now
I think he is doing his standard “I went to Duke, I know what it’s like to have to face everyone’s best effort every night” spiel.

How many tims have we said:
“that was the worst game that we have played all season(or longer)” and then they figure out a way to do worse.
Cody Regis with a 2-RBI single for UCLA
puts the Bruins up, 7-2. Regis’ first collegiate hit and RBI.
