UCLA has been terrible four out of their last five games. Not coincidentally, they have shot under 40% in four of those last five. Yet the Pathetic Pac 12 conference has allowed them to stay in second place. However, they have to start winning and playing better to have even a chance of making the NCAA Tournament. Today's game against Stanford is must win. Stanford, like Cal, is playing better than the first time UCLA played them. Stanford, unlike Cal, is not well coached though and just lost to USC.

The game is on ESPN 2 at 1 pm with Bill Walton doing the color commentary. Walton held back in the Cal game. I don't think he can two games in a row. So if the game is bad that should at least be entertaining. The official UCLA preview is here. The Stanford preview is here.

Go Bruins!
