Jackie Robinson American Hero
Posted on 16 Apr 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
April 15, 1947 is now a date that will live in infamy. Not for the efforts of one man on any given day or of scores of men today but of the significance of the trials and lessons learned during the interim and their inexorable effect upon human history. This is not just about baseball, rather it is the way that a baseball player managed to change the world. Every schoolchild hears the story...

St. John’s Red Storm Down D. J. Kennedy, Not Out Versus Gonzaga
Posted on 17 Mar 2011 by Nick Blanchard.
When asked about the impact of the loss of his versatile senior and leading rebounder D. J. Kennedy, Red Storm head coach Steve Lavin didn’t try to sugarcoat it, saying it’s without a doubt “a devastating blow” to the team. There is no question that Kennedy was a leader on this senior laden team, and one if its most important and skilled players who played the frontline all season with ...

UCLA Receives 7-Seed, Will Face Spartans in Tampa
Posted on 14 Mar 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
UCLA has received a 7-seed in the Southeast bracket. They will travel to Tampa to face the 10 seed Michigan State Spartans in the first round, and if they advance will take on 2-seed Florida. All things considered, this is a pretty generous assignment. The Bruins knew they were going to be between a 7 and a 10 seed, so getting a 7-seed was pretty much the best possible option. In addition...

Bruins Duck out of Pac-10 Tournament Early
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
Well, that was embarrassing. The UCLA Bruins, coming off a second place finish in the Pac-10 and looking to start a streak to head into the postseason, got bounced out of the first round of the Pac-10 tournament. By a bad team. By 17 points. The loss is somewhat reminiscent of UCLA’s loss in the first round of the conference tournament to Cal in 2007 – difference being, the 2007 loss bu...

Bruins Survive Cougars In OT
Posted on 5 Mar 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
No team in the Pac-10 is more of a one-man show than Washington State. Klay Thompson is basically all of the Cougars' offense, averaging 21.4 points a game (the highest in the Pac-10) while the next highest Cougar only averages 12 ppg. He's one of only three players in the country to average 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists a game. Oh, and on Saturday, he was suspended against UCLA for ...

UCLA Falls in Seattle…Again
Posted on 4 Mar 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
Considering that UCLA hasn’t beaten Washington in Seattle since 2003, a loss this year was more or less expected as well. Things were mostly close in the first half. UCLA had a 25-24 lead going into the locker room thanks to some pretty good defense which limited the Huskies to 21% shooting. In the second half, though, with the rest of the team struggling, the Huskies found their offensive ...

Bruins upset #10 Arizona in Final Game at Pauley
Posted on 27 Feb 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
Arizona is the tenth ranked team in the country, and first place in the Pac-10. They possess one of the most dominant players in all of college basketball, the surefire conference player of the year (and potentially the number one overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft) Derrick Williams. They were seeking vengeance from a loss on Thursday, and were seeking to clinch a solo title as conferen...

Bruins Overcome Devil-ish Start to Rout ASU
Posted on 25 Feb 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
For their final three regular season games, UCLA takes on the three best teams in the Pac-10 (by overall record) other than themselves. . Before having to run that gauntlet, however, the Bruins were seemingly given a break, as they had the chance to play at home against the last place team in the conference (Arizona State). The ASU game appeared to be an easy victory to help the Bruins set up...

UCLA Closes Out Cardinal
Posted on 18 Feb 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
UCLA basketball has won their last 6 games, but very few of them have been convincing blowouts. On Thursday in Stanford, leading by 16 points with 7 minutes left, it looked like the Bruins would finally have their convincing blowout win. But hey, where's the fun in that? Might as well keep things close and interesting. Turnovers and missed free throws by the Bruins (sound familiar?) allowe...

UCLA throws block party
Posted on 13 Feb 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
In the wild, beavers build dams in order to block rivers. Well, if those rivers ever decided they wanted to give those furry woodland creatures a taste of their own medicine, they apparently need to call in Tyler Honeycutt. Honeycutt had 8 of UCLA's 16 blocks against the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday, as the Bruins prevailed 69-61. No matter where OSU seemed to want to shoot from the fl...

Bruins overcome sloppy play in order to win….yet again.
Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Josh Lehmer.
Well, they played sloppy, made lots of mistakes, and the offense looked horrible at times, but UCLA was still able to come up with a win. Sound familiar? That's pretty much been the MO for the Bruins over the past few months. The wins haven't been pretty, but they've been there, as the Bruins defeat Oregon 64-54 for their 8th win in 9 games. The Bruins made several errors, especially in...

Ellis Wins It For Warriors
Posted on 20 Jan 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Any more questions? When the coaches go and decide who is an All-Star, and who is not, they had better have a tape of last night’s thrilling 110-108 Warriors win over the Pacers, because Monta Ellis answered every question that was thrown at him. If it was an SAT, he would have gotten a 2,400. After a slow start, Ellis turned it up a notch, and then, when it mattered most, added a game winnin...
