final four
Your UCLA-Memphis Live Blog
Finally, the Rumpelstiltskin of the tournament can weave chalk into gold, unless Kevin Love rains full-court chest pass threes all game. John Caliperi and Ben Howland would like to reserve their respective Final Four fortunes of years past. But remember: Larry Brown looms above all. And that's fine, so long as there's not a repeat of the dilatory pacing of the 50-45 UCLA win over Mem-PHUS Tuh-nuh-SEE in the tourney two years ago. More »

In honor of the Memphis-UCLA matchup this Saturday, we present you Andy Kaufman — whom, yes, we do consider a genius — and his famous "I'm from Hollywood!" rant against Jerry Lawler, from "Mem-PHUS Tuh-nuh-SEE." This should really be in the promo for Saturday's game. All we do is plow the fields and farm in the farm and duh duh ..... God, he kills us. Join Andy's funhouse right here.

That Scrappy Underdog In Westwood
Perhaps we just don't follow this as closely as we should, but we really weren't aware that this UCLA team was supposed to be considered the most hated team in college basketball? We thought Duke had that title for life? More »

Your Xavier-UCLA Open Thread
The first of our the regional finals pits the seemingly charmed - sometimes suspiciously so - UCLA Bruins against those nutty Jesuit Musketeers. Is the dunking process of Derrick Brown enough to hold off KevLuv and Co., or is UCLA just an inevitable tournament runner-up? Let's just stay out of the Sports Gods way as they elevate the Bruins to the Final Four.

There's something we absolutely love about this picture. No matter how well your team's doing, no matter how much fun your friends are having at the game, no matter how young you are and no matter how full of possibilities the planet might seem ... sometimes, when you're having a bad day, you're having a bad day.

Do LA Teams Have The Refs Hypnotized?
Another look at the last play of that UCLA-Texas A&M game that you may not have seen. I know that the rule of thumb among college basketball officials is that if a shooter is hit with two or fewer arrows during the last 30 seconds of play, then you should "let the players decide the game." Now, if the beer bottle had hit him (thankfully it missed), or the dog had been biting a more vital area, then perhaps a foul would have been called. It's hard to say. More »

Oh, You Are So Totally Grounded
In case you haven't seen this yet, the young Oregon fan giving the double-bird salute from the stands here toward UCLA's Kevin Love got into big trouble when he returned home. It seems that Sports Illustrated ran the photo with its story about rabid college sports fans a couple of weeks ago, and the guy's dad saw it. Result? Dad took away the kid's car. More »
