After the Memphis game, there has been much criticism over Howland’s “system” and style of play, and his well known meticulous (ok fine, anal) style of coaching. This has to led discussion regarding whether Howland or UCLA can win a championship.
What is Howland’s style? The man has to […]
After flying back immediately (7am on Sunday) and seeing fellow depressed Bruins, I took a couple days off before reflecting on the weekend and the season….here are my notes:
- Memphis outclassed us. CDR did his damage, but the difference was really Derrick Rose. We’ve had guys go off on us this year, but not 2 […]
FINAL FOUR - SAN ANTONIO NOTES AND UCLA/MEMPHIS PREDICTION

The Dirty Dirty -Sweet 16 - Phoenix - Western Kentucky Notes
Published by March 28th, 2008 in UCLA basketball. 0 Comments- 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 […]
- 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 […]
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 […]
