Gut-Check Time
Let's get to the papers first. David Wharton from the LAT reports on the significance of last night's (or for some us early morning) big win: "This was a gut-check week for us," Coach Ben Howland said. "And we responded to the first half of that gut check." With the victory, UCLA (20-6, 9-4)...
Ben Ball Game Day Roundup: Ready To "GO"
We will start with some good news on game day. PAA is going to be ready tonight: UCLA center Alfred Aboya recovered enough from the flu to practice and is expected to start today against Washington at Pauley Pavilion. Aboya missed two days of practice this week after becoming ill...
Ben Ball Roundup: Washington Game Notes
The Humpday Ben Ball round up starts with a note of concern. PAA has been sick since he returned from the Arizona trip. From the LA Tiimes: It was a quiet and somewhat gaunt-looking Alfred Aboya who showed up to speak with reporters Tuesday, wearing a black sweat suit with a hood pulled over his...
Huskies Thinking About Pac-10 Title/A Sweep in LA
The Huskies are buzzing up in Seattle. They are excited and fired up about winning their first outright Pac-10 championship since 1953 (it was Pacific Coast Conference championship back them). Senior center John Brockman is looking to jack up his intensity even more to set an example for his...
Leadership
So after a couple of days I was finally able to stomach reading the game reports from last Saturday. There were few comments that particularly stood out to me and they go back to what we had been discussing following Thursday's heartbreaking loss: mental toughness. Here is DC's quotes in the Daily...
Can't Take The Easy Way Out
Bruins go down against the Huskies in Seattle ... AGAIN. They came out firing getting off to an early lead thanks to hot shooting from JS. Despite a Husky rally they held on to one point half time till the Huskies took control and put the game away in second half. Here is the box score if you want...
Ben Ball Game Day Roundup: Underdog Saturday
Just in case anyone had forgotten Telemachus has posted what transpired in Seattle last year. I will not add any more commentary to his post because the video pretty much speaks for itself. I will also not rehash how we haven't won a game there since 2004 since it is being reported in detail (for...
Nothing To Lose
So the team in SI.com’s “bubble watch” (again they pegged UCLA as a team that “should be in” and got sensitive and hilariously inconsistent after getting called out on it) pulled out a hard fought win in one of the toughest venues in West Coast, running up their record...
Feeling Alright
Bruins got a much needed win last night in Seattle. Even though it is clear what Washington is perhaps one of the worst teams in the history of the Pac-10 conference (along with Washington State), I think folks shouldn’t be dismissive of the effort our guys put together last night in...
A Good Night In Seattle
We all knew about the drama heading into this game:. Given all the distractions that was around this game from CRN's return to Seattle, Bruins pull off a very impressive win. Bruins roll over the the winless Huskies by a score of 27-7. They came out strong by scoring a TD by Derrick Coleman in a...
