UCLA is poised, experienced, and underrated.  This team isn't getting any respect

 

I believe 3 starters have been to the Final 4 the past 3 years.

 

Maynor is good. Real good. But one man can't beat the Bruins.

 

Sorry VCU. No need to be home before midnight 

I agree with you here except the UCLA is underrated part. UCLA is way overrated. Thats a shitty team but is well coached and has experience.

Collison is a bum. I dont understand why people think he's good. He's a solid college point guard but will be lucky to cheerlead on a NBA bench.

Aboya playes hard. He's overachieved. I would have never imagined him playing the way he did this year. Shipp is streaky. He doesnt really do much on the court but score when the opportunity presents itself. And why is everyone in love with Holliday?  Saw him in high school, and I thought he was overrated. And my opinion hasnt changed?  Mock drafts have him going around 5th?  Yeah right, thats hilarious. But I also think James Harden is overrated, and some might call me stupid. I like Dragovic, his jumper is pure. He has a little Vladimir Radmonivic in him. I wont even mention Roll. I cant believe he has a scholarship at UCLA. He should be playing for Cal State Northridge or Long Beach State.

I love Howland, he's a tremendous coach. And I like the fact that they have experience. UCLA will win this game, but I like VCU plus the points.

Well, I guess they already bet it waaaaaaaay up... 

How about 136 ?

VCU WHO? While most everybody knows about UCLA, some of the Bruins apparently don't know much about the Rams. The Los Angeles Times reported that some of UCLA's players "were not entirely sure what VCU stood for."

 Kap - Is there any truth to the rumor that Collison hurt his tailbone against Oregon and that it's really bothering him? Since that game he has shot 4-18 from the field and 1-8 from behind the arc and scored just 4 points in the loss to USC.  

"It's important that Darren had (Saturday and Sunday) off to get healthy,'' UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "There's no question that tailbone was an issue for him, playing back-to-back nights. It's always harder when you're playing like that."

UCLA is practicing on campus today and will charter to Philadelphia afterward.

UCLA is so overrated that they are underrated
