There is more on the official site including all the quotes (if you care to read about Steve Alford glorify his MWC conference tournament accolades in New Mexico) from yesterday's presser.
Apparently this is the second matchup between the Bruins and the Lumberjacks. Last time we took on those guys -- we were seniors in college -- and the Bruins were coming off their 11th national championship. Toby Bailey went off in that game as he finished with his only career triple-double (23 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists). Perhaps Mr. Slow-Mo will do the same today. More on the statistical matchup b/w UCLA and Stephen F. Austin check out P's post here.
Ralph had a chance to catch up with the team yesterday. Here is his report:
There are bunch of games to take in before our action tips off down in San Diego. Stanford and Kansas starts the day's action around 9:15 am in St. Louis Missouri. It looks like Johnny Dawkins will be back for at least one more year to torment the segment of Stanford basketball fans who are looking for consistent results from their program.
Kentucky will have an interesting matchup against Wichita State while two Cinderallas - Mercer and Tennessee - will be having their dance-off in Raleigh, NC (tip scheduled for 3:10 pm PST). After our game is over -- we will be basking in Sweet-16 glory -- while taking in the matchups between Arizona and Gonzaga out West and Virginia and Memphis out in the East.
