Bay Area Roadtrip: Reflections After First Game

Coach Howland was relieved and excited after the Bruins' first road win in four tries last night: The Cardinal built a 14-point first-half lead by making 10 of 11 shots from the field, but UCLA limited Stanford to 14 of 38 from the field the rest of the way. The Bruins also didn't have a...

Bruins Get A Much Needed Win

It wasn't pretty but we will take it. Bruins pull out a much needed road victory against Stanford escaping from Maples with a with a 76-71 win. (Boxscore) Once again the Bruins came out flat looking slow and lethargic against an inspired Stanford Cardinal which came in and hit their first 7...

Ben Ball Game Day Roundup: Getting In The Right Mindset

After licking their wounds for days Howland and his basketball team get back on the court tonight. Probably the biggest issues to watch out for tonight is how our team is going to react mentally and emotionally on the road where they have suffered three straigh losses, which included the...

Ben Ball Roundup: Getting Back To Basics

Let's build more on the late night post on Howland channeling the Nation. It sounds like right now Coach is more focused on improving the basics of our team than anything else. Again it all begins and ends with defense in Howland's program and right now the numbers are ugly: Asked about UCLA's...

Scattered Thoughts: Seniors, Focus/Defensive Intensity & Recalibration Of Season Perspective

Last 24 hours we have had some good discussions (and some great posts) development of freshmen. I wanted to shift our attention over to our upperclassmen. I specifically wanted to expand upon the point blinkshot made in his spot on post about freshmen expectations from the weekend: Undoubtedly,...

"It ALL STARTS with our DEFENSE"

I wrote yesterday about how we wanted our Ben Ball warriors to repeat Thursday. We wanted them to sustain the (defense generated) momentum gained from putting together probably the best all around performance of the season against the Bears. Well they got it done yesterday afternoon. Ben Ball...

Bruins Crush Cardinal

This homestand against the Bay Area schools is turning out to be the complete opposite of last year's. Last year's edition of the Bruins used a miracle shot by Josh Shipp to secure the win over Cal, and a controversial call to beat Stanford at home. No such drama this time. This afternoon, the...

Ben Ball Game Day Roundup: Repeating Thursday Night

If anyone here is feeling too confident about Stanford let's start with this reminder: Bruins haven't won on Saturdays for two weekends in a row. During last two weeks Ben Ball warriors pulled off good Thursday night wins against Arizona and Washington State, only to have the positive vibes quashed...

Simple Game

The game is simple. We can talk on and on about all the statistics. We can beat ourselves up coming up with all kinds of ideas (which I enjoy myself) on what combinations Coach Howland can put on the floor but the bottom line always come down to two things IMHO for Ben Ball: defense and rebounding....

Game Day Roundup: Homecoming Saturday

Homecoming Saturday. Let's get the day going. Bruins are off to their worst start (2-4) since 1994 when they started the season 2-6. The tough start this season was not unexpected here in Bruin Nation. However, it’s evident from the way our team has played in last few weeks since the...
