No Collison, Roll or Shipp. Collison and Roll should be ready to go by the opener although they might hold DC out.

93-55 final UCLA wins. Boxscore looks bad if I post it here doesn't line up
correctly.

Love had 23 and 10 in 25 minutes, Westbrook had 22 4 assists in 25 minutes and some absolutely highligh reel dunks.

Luc didn't shoot well, he's improved his shot but so far not showing it in games. Mata 13 points 13 boards 1-5 on FT's(he's changed his name to Lorenzo Mata-Real) vastly improved his low post offense by multiple accounts. Really benefitting from Kevin Love in practice.

The big negative so far is defense isn't nearly as good as last 2 years. Love is still not in great game shape reports are he's been visibly gassed in both exhibitions and has been walking up court after rebounds because he's tired. He's lost a bunch of weight since he arrived but he still needs better conditiioning which he admits. But he's the best bigman UCLA has had in ages he is better offensively than advertised. I saw one scouting report from an NBA scout who saw the Azusa Pacific game and several practices and he said Love is "significantly better than Spencer Hawes", but that he might not get picked as high because Hawes is 2-3 inches taller.

Hoping against hope that love is another hansbrough, dominant college player with enough questions about his NBA stock that he stays in school.

I hate it, I haven't heard from a UCLA fan yet who likes it one bit, very annoying.

I don't get it. Why did they do that? Does it represent anything or did they just decide to color in one letter?

UCLA was the first D1 team to win 100 national titles, the C is supposed to represent the roman numeral for 100.

The whole problem is just that, only UCLA fans know that, and in fact even many UCLA fans don't know that.

I just think it's a silly looking thing and since so few people even get why they did it it's kind of annoying.

The C looks like a mistake.

I think the main reason I hate it is a few years ago my company(name starts with a C) decided to do this stupid HR program that they called "the C of Change" with all these signs with the C in red. So this gold C thing just reminds me of that.

:bang:
