Blackest Friday for the Bruins
Well folks, this brings a pretty black Friday for the Bruins to an end. The day started off with a loss for Howland's squad at Madison Square Garden, falling to VCU 89-85, with "leaders" like Honeycutt and Nelson either asleep (Honeycutt) or pouting (Nelson) for the first half. For more on that...
Bruins Melt Down & Implode In Seattle
Not sure what else can we really say right now. The game is still going on but it is over. UCLA is about to go down to Washington in Seattle in perhaps the ugliest and most disheartening loss during Rick Neuheisel's tenure as the head coach of the Bruins. The final score in favor of Washington was...
Brehaut’s Bruins Pull Out A Heart-stopping Win Despite Chow’s Conservatism
Well what can we say. When we started the game day we linked to a story from Jon Gold comparing today's matchup against Oregon State with the game we had against Washington last year at the Rose Bowl (following a gloomy October and a heart breaking loss). The result was yet another dramatic and...
UCLA Plays Vintage Howland Defense In Crunch Time, Comes From Behind To Beat Colorado State
For a while tonight it was looking like same old story for this year's UCLA Bruins. Howland's Bruins were stumbling, bumbling away heading towards what appeared to be another frustrating night at Pauley. With about 11:46 left in the second half, Bruins fell behind by a score of 46-54 (that's right...
Bruins Put Up A Fight But Notre Dame Holds Serve In South Bend
Well the at least on the scoreboard the conventional wisdom turned out to be true. Notre Dame (now with a record of 10-2) held serve on their home court to beat the Bruins by a score of 84-73. Bruins now fall to a record of 3-7 with no chance of getting back to .500 before the start of the Pac-10...
UCLA Gets To 3-0 By Putting Away Pesky Kansas State
So the fourth quarter mojo thread worked. lol After an ugly third quarter during which Kansas State had closed the gap witin 4, Bruins finally put away Kansas State Wildcats with a smothering, swarming defense, and a clutch bomb from Kevin Craft to Terrence Austin. UCLA beats KSU by a score of...
UCLA Pulls Out A Convincing 33-14 Win, Blitzes San Diego State With 30 Unanswered Points
Well as the old cliche goes a win is a win. Early on it looked like if the Bruins were going to pull this one out it was going to be a ugly win. However, thanks to a productive offense (which was mostly steady despite expected freshmen mistakes) and a dominating defense in the second half, Bruins...
Trojans Embarrass Howland's Heartless & Lifeless Bruins
We will have lot more to say tomorrow but suffice to say this is yet another one of the more embarrassing and humiliating defeats in Howland era at UCLA. Congrats to Tim Floyd and his Southern Cal Trojans. They move on to the finals of 2009 Pac-10 tourney by pounding a bunch of lifeless and...
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...
UCLA Roasts Ducks On Senior Day
Like many others I didn't get to watch the pre-game festivities. I did see clips of it during the broadcast over the nauseating voice of a certain head coach in name only. But it didn't really matter. Judging by the display of emotion we saw from DC out of the gate, we knew it was going to be a...
