What a great game, switching back and forth between that and the Steeler win.

Stoudamire is a jerk at times but he sure can shoot, i was yelling at Afflalo the whole way down court to get up on him, freshman mistake but he'd just hit a huge 3 after a pushoff himself.

Farmars missed FT's really didn't matter, the game was essentially over. Hats off to the refs on that Technical, I was yelling for it myself it was so obvious the UA players were on the court, one of the bench players ran behind the basket just after the shot went down which could have interfered with UCLA inbounding the ball. I didn't like Lute's reaction, he at least twice looked directly at Howland and said "what the hell is the problem Ben", I don't see how he can possibly take fault with Howland pleading for a T like that.

Still thrilled with the job Howland is doing with UCLA, UA is very talented an in their house it's impressive that UCLA hung tough.

Great game, felt like the UCLA-UA games of old.

Agreed, was nice to watch a game and not feel UCLA went in severely undermatched due to coaching.

They still need to keep it going, they were off fine last year too and then faltered, but I think they're a much better team this year.

Bringing back memories of the 79-80 freshman laden team under Larry Brown that arguably didn't deserve their at large bid, and wound up losing to Louisville and Darrell Griffith in the Finals.
