Saturday's games were both huge disappointments. My beloved hometown Patriots suddenly couldn't hit a jump shot to save their lives. While I had no preference between UCLA and LSU (brackets already shot to hell) I at least expected a competitive game, but Big Baby's performance was positively infantile.
I anticipate a more competitive game tonight, and hope to see the Bruins finally wipe the smirk off Joakim Noah's face. Ben Howland seems to be a classy guy, and their defense in particular is formidable; I may never refer to the Pac-10 as "soft" again.
I don't know if my co-bloggers will back me up on this endorsement. If not, reply below ...
Is it just us, Deron?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I concur. Not because of Donovan or Howland (or Wooden, for that matter), Noah or Afflalo, Bruin or Gator. I just like that U clapclapclap C clapclapclap, etc. fightsong . . .
While I would prefer UCLA (pac 10 allegiance and all) I believe Florida will win easily. I just cant imagine UCLA holding Florida to the mid 50s. Florida can score insde and out. They are extremely athletic, and I don't think UCLA can stay with them inside. I say FL by 15.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the job Scott!
I was going to root for UCLA, until I saw Bill Walton singing the UCLA fight song.
ReplyDeleteNow it's go Gators.
