Bruins Get Out Of Pullman With A 9-5 Win
Bruins break their three game losing streak and get out of Pullman with a victory. After two tough losses against Washington State, Bruins exploded out of the gate with 7 runs in their first 4 innings (including 5 at the top of 4th) and held on for a much needed 9-5 win. From the officiate...
Bruins Cruise Past Cougars
Bruins open the Pac-10 tournament in style as they cruise past Washington Cougars (the last team to beat us this season) by a score of 64-53. Here is the boxscore. The biggest difference this time around was the appearance of classic Ben Ball defense. DC, JS, PAA and rest of the Ben Ball warriors...

Ben Ball Game Day Roundup: Needing To Prove On Defense
As many expected Bruins will take on the Cougars tonight at Staples in their first game of the Pac-10 tournament. Cougs had no problem blowing past the hapless Ducks in a "satisfyingly boring" game from their fans pov. I don't think our guys need a lot of motivation to get fired up for tonight's...
Center Court: Pac-10 Tourney Open Thread
Ben Ball warriors don't get back in action till tomorrow night. So we will have to wait for another 24 hours for JA and his team-mates to attack the rim: Photo Credit: E. Corpuz Still I am sure many here are taking tourney actions going on coast to coast on WWL and other networks. We might as...
Ben Ball Roundup: Preparations
Bruins will find out who their next opponent is tonight as Oregon and Washington State will face off in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament. When he met the press yesterday Coach Howland was candid about which team his team is preparing for tomorrow night: "I strongly believe that we're going...
Post-Game Thread: Cougs Cut Up Bruin Defense, 82-81
OK, haven't done a Post-Game Thead before, but I figured somebody had to. The Cougs shot 30-for-51 from the field, a staggering 58.8% from the field. They hit 3s early and often against a step-slow Bruin defense, going 8-for-15 from long distance. Taylor Rochestie went ballistic against a...
Ben Ball Gameday Roundup: Looking For Another "Monumental Effort"
Coach Howland and his Ben Ball warriors are back in Pauley this afternoon to take on another tough Pac-10 opponent. As huge as Thursday's victory was against Washington that will not mean much if the Bruins somehow suffer a letdown today against one of the better coached team in the conference. The...
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)...
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...
