The Dirty Dirty -Sweet 16 - Phoenix - Western Kentucky Notes

- Ok, we just avoided the biggest collapse in NCAA history. As our lead was fading away, the pro-UCLA crowd was absolutely silent and scared. You could literally feel the tension from the team and the crowd.
- Darren Collison was rattled. DC usually has ice water in his veins, but […]

The Dirty Dirty - Anaheim Thoughts

- Texas A&M had a blend of athleticism and size to give UCLA problems. Very similar to the Alabama team two years ago.
- The single reason why TAM was winning is because of dribble penetration. Donald Sloan was unstoppable. It’s been proven that dribble penetration is the way to beat this Bruin […]

3/22 - I Hate Duke

Why does everyone hate Duke?
Right now Duke is beating West Virginia and I, like the rest of the country, is rooting for the Mountaineers. I hate Duke. UNC fans hate Duke. ACC fans hate Duke. I’m pretty sure Mississippi Valley State hates Duke. Basically, the whole country […]

NCAA Thoughts and UCLA/Texas AM prediction

After a pretty boring first day of the 2008 NCAA tournament, the 2nd day was filled with good stuff…..
- Western Kentucky pulled out a very exciting game. But did anyone notice how they almost pulled off one of the biggest blunders in NCAA history?? With 30 seconds left in overtime and the game […]

UCLA - NCAA Round 1 Preview and Notes

Bruins will destroy Jerry Rice’s alma mater by a lot. I wont waste your time or mine by going in depth on this one.
A few thoughts going into the tourney:
- Josh Shipp will get some open looks today. You would think he could make a few and perhaps get his mojo back. […]

UCLA BRACKETOLOGY

As I was sitting there watching the East, South, and Midwest brackets being announced…it became clear that UCLA was going to get a great draw. Once the entire region was declared, I was elated. Let’s take a look at the Bruins “dream” path to the Final Four. Lets first make it clear that […]

The Dirty Dirty - NCAA Tourney Pre Selection Notes

Here are a few opinions after watching the tourneys from around the country and also looking at UCLA’s potential draws:
- UCLA will definitely be a #1 seed in the West, and most likely the #2 seed overall behind UNC (they just beat Clemson).
- I would rather have UCLA be the #2 overall seed, […]

Pac 10 Championship Game - Stanford Review

Overall, a great game to watch. With Love struggling with his back and Luc out, it was nice to see the team maintain their focus and play well against a very good Stanford team.
- Darren Collison - DC single handedly put the Bruins on his back. This was one of the greatest personal efforts in […]

The Dirty Dirty - Pac 10 Tourney observations

- Cal - sorry, you got your wish to play us, and you got pounded. I hope they realize now that the game at Pauley was a result of UCLA taking them for granted.
- Jamal Boykin is really, really annoying. He is worse than Jack Haley or Mark Madsen, as far […]

The Dirty Dirty - Cal game observations

- UCLA did not come to play. It’s hard to get up for a cellar dwellar after winning the conference championship the 2 days earlier in overtime against a very tough team. With the Bruins, it’s all about motivation - and they were not motivated.
- We own Cal. Cal fans, in […]
