California vs. UConn look back
Like many Cal fans, I got up at 9:00 in the morning with the attitude that our team had nothing to lose and everything to gain in a matchup with #1 UConn. I only follow the Cal women and had not seen a single minute of UConn basketball all season, but the stats speak for themselves. I'm generally...
A Few Fun Facts About UCLA Basketball
Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N With UCLA having suffered an early exit from this year's tourney, we UCLA fans are bound to run into a joker or two who will try to denigrate our program as having amounted to nothing since the retirement of John R. Wooden shortly after UCLA won its 10th national championship...
Ep. 3 - More Than a Feeling
Another great game and some more fun times in LA. Bears, I think I'm in love with you. And I'm not alone. via i595.photobucket.com Just a little note about the Basketball support group, I was able to spend some time with them, hanging out in the hotel lobby. First of all, they're a great bunch...
Next Year: The Beat Goes On
Had few mins to check in before we head out and enjoy Philadelphia (as I had mentioned before this is actually a pretty fun city to visit). I can't add any more to what T wrote in terms of appreciating and showing gratitude to our three great seniors. I am going to miss all of them. Despite the...
NCAA Tourney - Ep 1. Bears on a Plane!
Hey CGB'ers, I'm writing this fanpost in the Natasha Vital style -- the blog. One from the road. Due to dumb luck and the power of unemployment, I am able to tag along with the spirit groups as they cheer the Bears in the NCAA (women). We are in LA! Which is just a return trip for a lot of the...
Heading to Philadelphia Early In The Morning ...
So here are some numbers that were going through my head last 48 hours as I was thinking whether or not we should check out our basketball team in person. Some numbers for UCLA basketball and Coach Howland when I see them in person. UCLA is 1-0 in a second round game (saw them beat #1 seeded...
Philadelphia, Pt. 1
It's been great here in Philly. Relatively cheap flight and hotel, and the public transportation's reliable enough to get around. I didn't end up with particularly great photos, but here are the best of the bunch anyways: Flickr Photostream Link via farm4.static.flickr.com I got a ticket off...
Second Round Thoughts
Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N This year has obviously been different, with the media casting (and the president) casting us as the underdog in last night's game (interesting fact: 70% or so of participants in ESPN's bracket challenge selected us to win...so take whatever you want from that). I've thought...
What Kind Of Team is Nova?
For anyone who has watched Villanova play this year, it's clear that hey are not the most conventional of teams. First, they are a small team. Their starting lineup isn't overly small, but it is deceiving. Nova starts guys at 6'2'', 6'5'', 6'6'', 6'7'' and 6'8''. That's not imposing, but it isn't a...
Thoughts on the Rotation and DC
Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N First off, let me say this: I think that CBH made the decision to ride his seniors all the way – win or lose – last night. And I agree with that decision. I don’t think they would’ve wanted him to put their careers in the hands of the inexperienced...
