Wow, UCLA is getting its ass straight handed to it in this

[swag]

trivial TV bullshit sports thing.

I guess before reading skills decline further I'll shut this idiot noise off and read another study on the deleterious impacts of college sports on post-secondary education in the United States.

3. That's a sweet song you sing.

Beethoven, isn't it? The one that Harold Hill taught the River City band to play by osmosis?

Is that from Beethoven's ninth?

4. It looked like UCLA decided from the get-go that they were overmatched

inside by Noah & company, and they knew they were not as good outside shooting, so they decided they had to gamble and go all fastbreak transition.

Unfortunately it was a pick your poison situation, because gators were better at that game as well. For all the attempts at quick transition baskets, a lot of them resulted in charging penalties, steals by FLA, blocked shots etc.

Seems like they should have changed tactics at some point and just gone for three pointers or something. They did at the very end when there was no choice, and went nowhere with it.

UCLA just ran circles around LSU but that just wasn't going to happen against FLA.

Noah is going to be a pretty solid pro, I think. Big man who has moves, can block shots, and can handle the ball. A Ralph Sampson type with a more valuable skill set.
