Indeed. Even Morrison himself said as much in his post game comments.
OT: Yeah Baby!!! Go Bruins!!!

The notion that the better team lost is ridiculous.
UCLA played horribly at the beginning. The Zags played horribly at the end. The "better" team gets it done when it matters most, right before the buzzer.
Morrison is a heck of a player, but a dirty one as well.
How sweet was it to watch Afflalo throw him away like a rag doll when he tried to lock arms. And one Adam.
Yeah Baby!!!!

ummmm? I think the better team won. On the other hand, the bruins were scrapping all night. They were not getting the calls last night, that was evident. Duke is a better team to and they're gone fishin! Anything can happen, Go Bruins!
point#2 - wrong
point#3 - wrong
anyone that knows sports, knows just because you win "one" game doesn't mean your the better team! Your team has a collectively horrible day and the other has a collectively career best day, they are going to win "that" game....but that in no way makes them the better team. ya know?

Hmmm......we shall see. As I recalled, it wasn't that long ago that UCLA ran off a string of 8 wins in a row. Short termed memory only benefits the feeble minded :rollface:

Not just basketball season
You can always hope.
My grandmother graduated from UCLA.
My mom graduated from UCLA.
My wife and I graduated from UCLA (met her there).
And my oldest is going to.... CAL!
I still have two more chances, but let's get real - he should have been at UCLA (they offered him more money anyways!).

I'd say you disown him, unless he still roots for UCLA :lol:
Yes, that's all I can do, is hope. When they are old enough to understand, I'll pump them full of UCLA lore. My 2 year old son already tries to imitate the 8-clap
Then I'll tell them that their education at UCLA will be fully funded, or they better be smart enough to earn full rides somewhere else.

UCLA IS the better team. But only since Hollins has stepped it up. That was the one thing UCLA was missing for the first half+ of the season - a big man in the middle. They've had the rest of the package all year long.
And if you watched the game, you know UCLA came down on the wrong side of some seriously bad calls - one of the calls was a shooting foul - but it was actually the backboard that "fouled" the Gonzaga player (there was earlier contact when both players were going for the rebound, but the UCLA player was well off when the Zag had his chot blocked by the underside of the backboard - of course, it was UCLA's backboard
). On another (late in the game, when UCLA was close, the UCLA player was driving to the basket and contact was made (ie a foul committed) after the UCLA player left his feet in the act of shooting. The basket went in, but was ruled a foul BEFORE THE SHOT, so rather then 2 + one free throw, it was a one and one, which he missed.It was that way all night. A good team finds a way to win in spite of those types of issues. In the recent past, UCLA wouldn't have won. Now they do. They were, and are, the better team.

Yea they won! That was a cool game and a good look Gonzaga had at the end.
Memphis is next. With their awesome PG Darius Washington it should be a hell of a game to see Jordan Farmar and him go at it. Cant wait!
EDIT: Look at the shoes they were rockin.
Kobe (Crazy Eights) Rookie year shoe. Where in the heck! I want those!

Yeah, just hope they don't choose a major that is "better" elsewhere. Just because Berkeley is number 1 or number 2 (depending upon poll) in undergraduate engineering, and UCLA is up around 18 or so... ;rolleyes:

you need to know why he went to college 380miles away........you can't just drop in anytime like you could if he went to ucla.
thats the only reason why i chose ucla over cal (i gre up in norcal). and might i add, that was a damn fine decision on my part now that i look back upon it.
