THRILLING!

Hopefully, next time we can get some real announcers, who aren't circling what Stanford should do and praising to the high heavens simple Mitch Johnson bounce passes.  

And that's what our guys did.

You CAN have faith and still be frustrated at what you see.

Just don't give up.  Coach Howland doesn't.  Why should we?

Excellent improvement by our team int eh 2nd half.  What started out as a shadow of a Florida loss turned into shades of a Gonzaga comeback.  

Gradually increasing pressure on D... at halfcourt... then 3/4 court... then fullcourt in the final minute!

RW shaking off a possible ankle roll (praying for good health now!) to give defensive pressure and clutch scoring.  

DC shaking off hesitation and Furd defenders to carry the scoring load.

KL diving, leaping, stretching, pushing, batlting for every desperate rebound and tip-in.

Luc playing tight, in your-jersey D and taking every angle for rebounds.

Josh, even when not scoring, still driving, probing, trying to make things happen.

Aboya and LMR, doing what they do -- fighting for every rebound, shuffling and hustling and hedging every screen and roll, stepping in front of every player on a drive, cleaning up the messes.

Don't let up, Bruins.

DON'T LET UP.

Good job.  Next hurdle...

M

I hope he gets his stroke back, and more importantly, gets his head up!  Josh, we need you!

The PRINCE proves, once again, that he's the Most Important Player on the squad, out-hustling Robin Lopez, KL, and only two short of Brook Lopez' 13!

But why do we keep digging ourselves into a hole against great teams?  We kept clawing our way back to only 7 points down, then got shut down again and again.

Anyways, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TEAM!!!  Let's keep it up and wrap up the regular season on Sat with a win against Cal for LMR's last home game as a Bruin!

why didn't trent johnson put back in robin lopez? i though furd outplayed us when both were in.

i'm not sure about the foul on dc with 2 secs. but it looked like a charge on the other end. didn't check out the body contact mentioned by others. to me it looked like he might have touched dc's elbow with the left hand before a clean block with the right. it was really questionable, but who knows we might have hit a shot with an out of bounds play.

great comeback, as usual from this team.

congrats to stanford. if they can keep both lopez bros in they'll be tough to be in either pac ten or ncaa tournament. i hope the ncaa selection committee gives them a favorable seed.

Plus, I like how Shipp wanted the ball at the end to be fouled. Sure he missed the first free throw, but he is a leader on this team and I liked how he wanted the ball.

I hate the Pac 10 Tourney for any Pac 10 Champ.
We need more rest and private time with Ben more than anything else prior to Madness.

DC is unbelievable. I was concerned awhile back that the injury would affect his game for the rest of the season. He can go off and he should be the key to making things happen on the offensive end. His confidence is running high. Just an unbelievable comback, what an emotional game. This has to be a huge lift as they gear up for conference play.  

Thanks, Darren.  We woulda got blown out this game if it wasn't for you CREATING!

I am confused sometimes about some being labled bandwagoners or critisized if they express some frustration. Maybe I missed something and didn't read the entire thread. I don't care for trolls or those whose sole purpose is to slam the team at every turn, but I do appreciate a free exchange of thoughts and analysis. I understand why many don't care for continuous negative commments, such as going out in the first round, etc. I love this site for all of the exceptional anaylsis, insight and information. I can't emphasize enough how great it is to engage with other bruins. I'm so harcore, I tend to express my frustration like others. I had faith they could make a game of it and perhapy even win. Expectation are so high, it's hard to see them play like they did in the first half. I just don't want anyone to be concerned about being critical for fear of being labled a bandwagoner, hater, etc. Just my 2 cents.

Awesome game, many great comments. I get so much from analysis on here when I can't see the game on TV. Tournament time is just about here. Baseball team looks great. RN and Chow are making some serious noise. God, it's great to be a Bruin right now.  

Best game of the season.

That free throw by RW that bounced high off the rim was the scariest moment for me.  How that went in, I don't know.  If there's a game this season - given we win it all - that I could look back and say that was the game that made us champions, this was it.

The building was absolute mayhem.  Never heard a louder game this season.

Great win by our team after having a bad first half, DC was just amazing -- 3/4 from the arc.

Only thing is the last layup was unnecessary, but I hope Stanford understands that we were all just extremely excited to win the game, and meant no disrespect (e.g. was not a dunk on them).

Body Contact. Clean block, but body contact. Look at the ref's call.

I think I suffered from a mild heart attack when Russell shot his 1st FT at the end of the game.  One other thought I had after the game - a few more second halfs/games like that during the remaining tourneys and we will no doubt be losing all three (KL, DC, and RW) to the NBA.
