Oregon -5

[ststrl]

UCLA is gonna have a huge let down today. Don't know how many of you actually watched the UCLA UofA game yesterday, but I was there and what won the game for UCLA was UofA HORRIBLE shooting. Granted UCLA played a solid game and good D, but UofA gave that game to UCLA, and I don't see Oregon doing that tonite vs UCLA. This is the SAME UCLA team that this entire board bet against ALL YEAR and won on. UCLA and UofA are big rivals, so that game made UCLA's season. They are done and don't care now. If they lose today, big deal they beat UofA and they are ready for next year. Oregon still has something to prove. Yes they are in the tourney, but a PAC-10 tourney championship would do wonders for their seeding, and with UofA and Stanford out, and CAL looking so so, Oregon WILL win this tourney. Assuming that the Lukes are on tonite, this will be an easy DD win for the Ducks. Whatever you do don't take UCLA and the points if UCLA is in this game at all, which I don't see, then take the ML. I'm not sure UCLA has even lost a game this year on a close score.

Not making this a lock or my POY but I just see UCLA coming out flat, emotionally draiend from yesterdays win, and ready to throw in the towel. This line will drop in Oregon's favor due to the moronic public thinking UCLA is back. But guess what folks...THERE NOT. Big let down by UCLA tonite. Final score...

Shitty attitude and approach by the Cats yesterday. Don't like it, although I had UCLA/Over and won easily, I was pissed about our "who cares" attitude.

As for tonights games I disagree and think it could easily be SC/UCLA in the final tomorrow. UCLA has been playing well ever since Ray Young moved to the point, okay except for the Oregon game but that was senior night and UCLA has already accomplished what they needed on that trip by winning at OSU guaranteeing that the final weekend would be relavant. UCLA actually should have beaten the Ducks at Pauley but lost in OT.

I see UCLA, with the pro LA crowd, getting another W.

respect your capping and insight- but i think ucla could win it outright. its like clockwork every year with ucla. have an embarrassing regular season. play below expectations, and then put it all together for the tourney run. ucla should have beaten oregon in pauley. then got waxed in eugene. ucla is playing with some confidence right now. and ducks havent been impressive away from macarthur this year. neutral court of course, but that will be a pro-ucla crowd as well.

I disagree with you. I did watch the game yesterday and feel although Arizona did not shoot well from the outside (Gardner was 0-11 I believe from 3 point land) and their intensity was not there, the UCLA of old would have still found a way to lose and they almost did if it were not for Young's 3 pointer......feel UCLA should have won the game in regulation........ UCLA had a lot of unforced to's just like Arizona. Arizona did most of their damage from inside the paint... I actually had them on the ML. I do agree with playing UCLA on the moneyline because they are either going to lose and not cover or win straight up in my opinion. This game is not as strong as yesterday but UCLA does have something to play for....if they win tonight and tomorrow they are in.....For some reason UCLA steps up when people expect them not to....would not surprise me to see them win the tournament....they are definitely capable of beating either CAL or USC if they get by Oregon......UCLA has some momentum behind them and yes Oregon wants to win as well but feel UCLA will prevail.....

I am not going against what you guys said here, but rather that UCLA plus the points is not the play in my opinion. So many times this season UCLA has been in games if not leading them rather comfortably and totally folded in the second half. Thats what I see happeneing today. I wasn't making Oregon my POY or anything but rather just saying if you like UCLA today than the ML is the way to go.

There were hardly any UCLA fans at the game yesterday, which was kinda a surprise to me, however they will be well represented tonite, and I just see them getting let down. UCLA played the game of their season last night, EVERYONE was on, and yes Ray Young has been good lately, however being a bigtime PAC-10 follower in particular UofA and UCLA, I just feel like they accomplished their mission yesterday and just won't be as amped up tonite. Look for this game to be tight up until about 10mins left in the 2H.

USC on the other hand is a flat out athletic and quick team. CAL looks weak soemtimes, so i could see them actually winning their game. GL to you guys none the less.

Hey gjn23 Im not giving up, will be in Anaheim for the West Sweet Sixteen you gonna be there, cause I'm the prayin the cats will be

I'm there if the Cats are there.

UCLA did a el-foldo, good thing I just had the 5.5. 16-3 run to end the game in the final 4 mins?????? Fitting end to their season.

SC was way too easy. Cal is clearly can't match up with their athletes and now that Dupree is out of the dog house this SC team is pretty good (as long as they don't turn the ball over). However what do they have one left in them another win or choke job?
