I think our small margin of victory against USC will wake us up for this game. That was a sad showing against USC.

UCLA lost to the Beavs so the Bruins are gonna be fired up. Hope our boys are ready!

got to keep joshua smith from establishing position inside, he's huge and hard to stop if he gets the ball. but he's largely worthless if defended properly. he'll push woods around, i'm afraid, one-on-one.

lazeric jones is faster than anyone we have. best to not let him going. not the all-american sort of guard howland used to bring in, but he's still pretty good.

the wears are completely hit or miss. sometimes, they're unstoppable. sometimes, they're the worst players on the court. they can step out and drain the 18 footer.

Thank God there aren't any basketball recruits at this game. I thought UCLA would win, but this is embarrassing.

Who knows what will happen in the second half, but Oregon looks awful. Honestly, I think this team has overachieved so far. They just aren't that good.

I think UCLA is the team that has underachieved. They have a ton of talent and are capable of being the best team in the league. The Wear twins are extremely inconsistent. Singler, Joseph and Sim have missed some very makeable shots. I think UCLA's length is definitely bothering Oregon inside.

That was a heck of a second half. Great performances from Singler, Sim, Joseph, and Nared.

Really nice win. I think the press was huge.

great to see singler, sim, and woods come together there at the end of the game. all three were huge in that comeback.

4 conference wins in a row for the first time under Altman. Gutty performance by the team to get the win when they have easily folded.
