Oh, UCLA ... I trusted you. CS-Fullerton is a bad team ... who played a bad game ... and they still beat you. At least you forced double overtime.
But they were boring, stupid overtimes (First OT: Fullerton 3, UCLA 3 ... six total points). Spent both overtimes on the phone with Ilana occasionally updating her on how the game has been going, saying things like, "No, no one has scored in a while," "No, still nothing," and "I think that shot just hit the top of the backboard."
Some relevant stats:
UCLA Three-Pointers: 5-29 (17.2%)
- Lee - 1-8
- Dragovic - 1-9
(On the other hand, Fullerton was 3-15 (20%), so ... push?)
UCLA Free Throws: 8-17 (47.1%)
So ... let's pretend that game never happened. Next up in the marathon, we head to Moraga, CA ... St. Mary's vs. San Diego State. And ... it's already 29-9, SMC. Playing without Paddy Mills. And still absolutely dominating. Eh, maybe I can make fun of the commercials.
Also, even though this game tipped at 11 PM local time, the crowd is going crazy. I hope the weird start times bring out the best in these small-school crowds. Supposedly, St. Peter's (playing Monmouth, local start time 6 AM) is just leaving the gym open all night, and people can stick around for the game in the morning. Awesome.

i am starting to think that this is the weird year where tobey baily is ucla's best player and they lose to princeton in the tourney.
ReplyDeleteExcept UCLA was a 4 seed that year. No way they get that high this year.
