Sports: UCLA basketball limping

Went to my first basketball game this season. Unfortunately, they lost to the Huskies.

They did have the lead but they seemed to run out of gas as the 2nd half wore on. Also, down the stretch it was clear that Farmar wasn't able to do much on his ankles.

The starting lineup had 3 freshman (Roll, a Moute and Wright). Abboya subbed in at center and power forward but tweaked his knee in the middle of the first half and didn't return. Hopefully, he will be able to return for tomorrow's game against USC. Fey and Hollins got in a few minutes but aren't quite in game shape yet. Rubin also subbed in for a few minutes. Freshman Collison got a lot of minutes.

There is a huge logjam in the standings with many teams with two losses. Hopefully, the Bruins will be able to get healthy very soon and be able to stay in the top tier of the Pac-10.
