Photos from UCLA vs. Stanford
I'm a little short on quality photos tonight, but hopefully these will convey something of what it was like to be there. Zeek was a force everywhere, racking up 21 points, 6 assists, and 6 steals while shooting 60% from downtown. Josh Smith was hobbled early by foul trouble, and while there were many ticky-tack fouls tonight, not all of his were so questionable. Despite that, he still managed to lead the team in rebounds (with 7), and added on 7 points. But to me, the stat of the game is Stanford's shooting; our defense held them to 39% shooting (season avg. 44%), and to 61 points, 10 below their season average. Without the points from their numerous (and often undeserved) trips to the charity stripe, this game would have been a lot more comfortable toward the end, so props to the team for dealing with the frequent whistles and ending on a 10-point run near the end to all but close it out and force the foul game.

Unfortunately, none of the pictures I have of him tonight just don't do Zeek justice.

Heh,
that’s by design— I always run the one I like the best first— just sometimes nobody agrees with me :P
For what it's worth
In the photo of Smith’s hook shot, I counted 48 people (including the players and the photographer’s hands) and 67 empty seats. We are not going to make anyone think this is Duke v. UNC.
Just imagine how those empty seats could be immediately filled if we had even a marginally competent athletic director.
Not only that
but look at how excited they are! Just enthralled with the action!
But hey, what do I know. Iām just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
