LAst Night's Action: Middle Tennessee Overwhelms Bruins
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders defeat UCLA Bruins 86-66. Middle Tennessee must really love Southern California. After beating Loyola Marymount on Sunday, they take a stinky dump all over the Bruins in their septic tank of an arena.
To summarize for the Bruins, they have lost their first two games of the season to a bad West Coast Conference team and a mediocre (read: awful) Sun Belt Conference team. And in an absolute miracle this basketball team has made the UCLA Bruins football team look absolutely competent.
Which brings up a question: what the hell is Athletic Director Dan Guerrero doing?
So Los Angeles with no NBA games in the horizon (especially after they cancelled everything up to Dec. 15 officially today), UCLA basketball in the shitter and USC basketball being USC basketball, what is the city going to do for basketball?
It’s okay. If you don’t like hockey, pitchers and catchers report in roughly a couple of weeks after the Super Bowl is done.
