"Inexperience" - Never an Excuse for a UCLA Team Playing "Ben Ball" in March
It's no secret that this year's edition of UCLA basketball has been less than stellar. These Bruins have been wildly inconsistent, have either won (BYU, St. John's, Arizona) or kept it close (Kansas) in some real big games against higher-seeded NCAA tournament teams, to only lose (Montana,...
Having Fun Yet?
I still have to go back to a discussion we had a little earlier in the season about whether we are having fun this year given the fact this year’s team didn’t come into the season with the kind of expectations that were around the one around last year? We had a discussion about whether...
Building On A Good Start
Let’s build on Tele’s highlights and other great comments/observations from last night’s Pac-10 opener. It was good for our Bruins (I am still amused by Tracy Murray's reference to “Ben Ball warriors” at the very beginning of the post game Bruin show) to come out so...

Longhorn Notes
In case you haven't done it yet, check out the notes Bald Eagle graciously shared with all of us from his Thanksgiving vacation in Maui. BB had a chance to scout out couple of future Bruin opponents - Texas and Notre Dame - in the 2008 Maui Invitational when he had chance to check out the great...
Howlandwood: Where NBA Careers Begin
Well this is a perfect note to follow up the post re. our "Championship Factory" in Westwood. One of the big reasons Bruins are in the top 5 among college athletic programs with most athletes in professional leagues is our overwhelming presence in the NBA ranks. The good folks over at Rush the...
The Wall Street In Love
So Achilles posted yesterday how Kevin Love in NYC is getting ready for his big night. He made an appearance at the NYSE along with Joe Alexander (West Virginia) and Anthony Randolph (LSU). The WSJ has a report: I have to say I have been immensely enjoying the exposure KL and RW have been...
