Busing to the Sports Arena: "Those fans who don't want to drive to the games can catch a ride on the bus service that has been arranged for all 19 of our home games. Fans will have the ability to park for free at Jackie Robinson Stadium, where the Bruin baseball team plays, and ride special buses to and from the basketball game for just $16 per person per game. The bus tickets should be purchased at least 48 hours prior to game day from the UCLA Ticket Office. We will be sending out more details about the bus plan as they become available. "

"The very last thing I ever heard Coach say — and his voice was failing and you really had to strain to hear him — he looked over at this little group of guys sitting there at this table," Hill said, "and he looked at all of us and he said, ‘I only wish I could have done more for all of you.'" Former national champions Hill and Kenny Booker came to Cal State Long Beach Thursday to commemorate Wooden, two weeks after what would have been his 100th birthday.

Previously, BlueWave wondered in the FanPost re: the new Adidas football uniforms, if Adidas might be tweaking basketball jerseys, going with the tight-fitting jersey look that Nike rolled out a few seasons ago. It turns out they might. Take a look at last year's uniform here. Now take a look at the gallery from the men's basketball team's media day here. If you look closely, the new uniforms appear to fit more snug on top and the numbers seem to have gotten larger than previous seasons. Hopefully Adidas is not going to screw around with what is one of the most classic uniforms in college basketball. UPDATE (B) - Apparently, according to the fine folks at the very good UniWatch blog, UCLA is rolling out new uniforms this season, with some minor changes, but also it looks like it'll include the new Adidas Revolution 30 type technology (hence, the more tight fitting look).
