Shabazz Muhammad Is Exactly One Year Older Than We All Thought
Yesterday, as UCLA was gearing up for its first tournament game (an upset loss to Minnesota), the Los Angeles Times published a profile of the father of Pac-12 freshman of the year Shabazz Muhammad. The piece revealed, among other odd things, that he had been lying about his son's age for some time—...
All The Angry Emails Sent To UCLA By Fans Who Hated The Ugly New Zubaz-Style Uniforms
Three weeks ago, Adidas rolled out special basketball uniforms for Cincinnati, Kansas, Baylor, UCLA, Louisville, and Notre Dame, to be worn in the teams’ conference tournaments.

UCLA Freshman Jordan Adams Topped Off His Game-Saving Performance By Breaking His Foot On The Very Last Play
Last night, the UCLA Bruins advanced to the Pac-12 finals after winning a hard-fought game against Arizona, 66-64, in Las Vegas. The fortituous final play, in which Arizona missed a jumper and tip-in opportunity, may also have taken UCLA's season out behind the proverbial woodshed. ...
In Potential Conference Finals Matchup, The Penguins Find An Extra Gear While The Bruins Run Out Of Gas
It's hard to take any larger lessons from Bruins-Penguins, a low-yield bet to be your Eastern Conference finals matchup, since neither team was at anything close to full strength. Evgeni Malkin is out at least a week with a mysterious "upper-body injury," most likely a shoulder injury suffered Satur...

Here's A Photo Of UCLA Head Coach Ben Howland, In A Tracksuit, Playing Beer Pong With Students Last Night
From the game day campout live-blog at the Daily Bruin (and via Twitter), here's a picture of notoriously sorta grumpy UCLA basketball coach Ben Howland, looking extremely relaxed last night in advance of today's game against #11 ranked Arizona at Pauley Pavilion (9 p.m. EST, ESPN)....
Jack Edwards Was Literally Jumping Up And Down When The Bruins Tied The Game
The Bruins, down 3-0 in the third, achieved a compact and miraculous comeback. They scored twice in the final 90 seconds after pulling their goalie, and salvaged an extremely unlikely comeback. (The Rangers would win in the shootout.) But in the game-tying goal, a rebound right to Brad Marchand th...
To Avoid Criticism, Shabazz Muhammad Must Collapse With Joy When His Team Wins
Shabazz Muhammad is proving a good canary in the coal mine for figuring out if we've dispensed with the superstar-athlete-doesn't-care-about-team-play concern trolling as we've grown more sophisticated about the complexity of the NCAA and the intellectual laziness of humping tired sports cliches. We...
Sports In The Storm: The Knicks Were Stuck In Minnesota, The Spurs Were Stuck In Detroit, And The Bruins Had To Reschedule
You are not the only one somewhat inconvenienced by the white stuff on the ground outside: The Knicks spent last night stuck in Minneapolis, the Spurs couldn't escape from Detroit until an hour ago, and the Nets had to take a train:...
Canadiens Goalie Carey Price Takes Hockey Puck To The Nuts
Sure you could characterize it as Carey Price enduring "a wrist shot right...in the...middle...of the net" but we all know better. The immediate doubling over is a tell-tale sign of a nut shot....

A weekly (or so) ranking of college basketball teams on the basis of watchability and with very little regard to how good they might be. ...
Boston Is Really Bummed Out About The Super Bowl
This is almost too good to be true. It's taken only a handful of years for Title Town to completely revert back to the blubbering, blundering, sad-sack Boston we all know and love. It has been eight years since the Patriots won a Super Bowl. Eight! That is almost an entire decade of complete and tot...
The Most Recent Fainting Spell Over Shabazz Muhammad Distills NCAA Compliance To Its Idiotic Essence
Shabazz Muhammad spent the first three games of UCLA's season—and his college career—sitting on the bench while the NCAA deliberated on whether he'd committed a minor infraction that he'd specifically been advised not to worry about when he committed it. When he was finally reinstated, he got back ...
A Young Bruins Fan Found Something Questionable In His Food
As part of the Bruins' "sorry about the lockout" apology tour (and Jeremy Jacobs being personally responsible for making it so long and acrimonious), fans are getting free food. Lots of free food! For each of Boston's five home games in January, each fan gets three vouchers for food or non-alcohol...

Tyler Seguin Spent The Lockout Living In His Own Filth [UPDATE]
For most players who went to Europe during the lockout, it was just business: an opportunity to make a paycheck and stay in shape until the NHL returned. But for Tyler Seguin, it was something much more monumental: it was the first time in the young Bruins star's life he's ever lived on his own. And...
Johnny Boychuk's Austrian Team Only Gave Him Red Bull To Drink
As NHL players return to North America—those who aren't claiming asylum to escape the Islanders regime, anyway—they're being set upon by their neglected beat writers, and sharing some strange stories of their sabbaticals. Alex Picard made some new friends in the shower. Ryan Jones was handcuffed and...
T.J. Simers Believes UCLA Threw The Stanford Game, And Hijacked Jim Mora Jr.'s Press Conference To Prove It
UCLA already has the Pac-12 South clinched. Their opponent in the championship game would be either Stanford or Oregon, depending on whether the Bruins won or lost against the Cardinal on Saturday. Well, UCLA lost, 35-17, and they'll have their rematch in just four days. Where the rest of us see o...
Tyler Seguin Has A Foolproof Method For Dealing With The Ladies
The Bruins' Tyler Seguin is playing for Swiss team EHC Biel, and he's young, handsome, rich, and single. (Also, possibly a dick to women—we don't know the backstory.) When moving to a new place, it can be tough to keep track of all your new friends. So Seguin made sure to list one in his address boo...
