Its that time of the year for college B-ball fans!
#5 seeded UC Irvine took care of business by dispatching Long Beach 77-63. UOP is next for the Anteaters. Rip 'em 'Eaters, zot, zot, zot!
Meanwhile, I'll be following my beloved Bruins. Da Bears feel they was robbed at Pauley last Saturday and will be out to prove something. UCLA's gaudy record of 28 wins hides the fact the team has significant deficiencies. On the offense end, they don't hit the outside shot well so teams collapse on Kevin Love and dare the shooters to make them pay. On the defense end, UCLA has the big guys to get rebounds but that means they are a bit slow and teams that spread them out and take advantage of speed and nifty passing can shred UCLA's pressure defense. Usually, the pressure defense forces teams into mistakes but an athletic team with good passing and a cool head will be trouble.
Nonetheless, GO BRUINS!
