The Early Words: UCLA falls to Cal (32 clicks)
A sneezing two-week old kitten.A puppy on Prozac.A baby lamb struggling to take its first steps.Answer: What are things meaner than the UCLA men's basketball team?The Bruins once again struggled to put their foot down, once again refused to keep a big lead, once again looked on helplessly as a struggling team righted itself and left them in the dust.UCLA watched an 11-point lead turn into a 7-point deficit in just eight minutes to close the first half, and Cal cruised down the stretch to a 72-58 win at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday afternoon.

More Game Photos From Thursday, With Dance Team Bonus Pics. (59 clicks)
There definitely appear to be some mixed reviews from the last night's game vs Stanford. The people who went to the game seemed to view it far more favorably than those that watched on tv. I think ultimately, the reason for the optimistic view from those in attendance is because, for once this year, the crowd was actually really into the game (at least down the stretch).

Pimping Sunshine? My thoughts on this UCLA basketball team (54 clicks)

10 Reasons Why You Should Go See UCLA Baseball Games This Season - Part 2 (22 clicks)
Thanks for reading, here are the rest of the 10 Reasons. 5. Bruins Athletics - First to 100UCLA was the first college to amass 100 NCAA championships. 100! I know some people knock it because some were in less well-known sports like water polo but I think it's quite significant.As I mentioned earlier, UCLA has higher academic requirements for student athletes than many other schools. That means they can't just collect the best athletes in each sport.

Hello Kiffin, Meet Luke (And Jordan): UCLA "Type Of Guys" (52 clicks)
I want to end the Friday night on a positive note and put aside all the anxiety and frustrations around our basketball team. Thank fully we have the football program giving us one sign after another about how Rick Neuheisel has changed the zeitgeist around UCLA football program.Let's go back to the Super Wednesday when CRN closed out another excellent recruiting class. That day started off with a bang with the signing of Jordan Zumwalt, the four start LB from Orange County (and for a while Stanford Cardinal's most highly rated commit for the class of 2010). While we all rode the Zumwalt roller coaster to a happy ending, there was another amazing story behind his signing of a Bruin LOI.

Hoops Game Day Roundup: Angry Bears Looking For Vengeance In Pauley (26 clicks)
It would help if Malcolm Lee plays more like a pitbull (on both ends of the court) than a poodle. Let's start with a quick follow up on the bruhahahah over Malcolm Lee's twitter who fired off what clearly appeared to be a shot against Ben Howland's scheme at UCLA, right after his team's close victory over a bad Stanford basketball team. While the tweet was deleted within couple of hours, there has been no explanation and no followup tweet from Malcolm. So as of right now that tweet pretty much speaks for itself in terms of how the supposedly the best player in UCLA's backcourt feels about his head coach's game schemes.

Recruiting: Grading the UCLA class -- offense (162 clicks)
UCLA's offense was very much a young, inexperienced, work-in-progress bunch last season. Nowhere was that more evident than at running back, where the Bruins turned to a fullback to lead the ball-carrying duties for the final third of the season. Thus, UCLA's main priority on offense going into signing day was at running back. Mission accomplished.

The Two-Back Power and How to Defend It (Part II) (56 clicks)

Defense Now that you've seen how this play is run from the offensive side, I'll take a look at what needs to happen to stop this play. However, I'll first explain how run defense is supposed to function and how the moving parts work together, as things are a little more complicated than "everyone chase the guy with the ball".

Still Ticking: Couple Of Positive Points On UCLA Basketball (43 clicks)
I am hesitant to say something nice about this year's basketball team. Seems like every time I say something nice about the team (like getting excited after the win over Arizona State or even cautiously optimistic after the win over Washington State), they immediately go on to stumble next game. As I wrote in my last post that I found last night's game mostly unwatchable. However, as pointed out in the comment threads, sometimes boring games are expected when it features two teams playing zone defense and at least one of them doesn't have blue chip athletes on its roster.

After playing an up tempo, high scoring game against Oregon two nights ago, OSU presented a completely different style of game, with Oregon State allowing the lowest field goal percentage in conference. The game started off rocky for UCLA, as the Bruins took over 4 minutes to score their first point, but due to strong defense, were only down 6-2.
