Memphis Tigers defeat UCLA Bruins 78-63. Memphis was too much for UCLA. While the Bruins kept it manageable for most of the game, the Tigers turned up the gear in the final five minutes to send the Bruins home. Darren Collison scored only two points before fouling out in the second half, and the Bruins couldn't get the ball to Kevin Love. Memphis will face Kansas Monday night in the championship game. San Diego......

If you can really only afford to watch one game throughout the entire Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament, then this is the one. The sports world has been hyping today's UCLA-Cal Men's rematch as the centerfold of this week-long event, given the RECENT CONTROVERSY and tension between the two teams. Defeating UCLA not only means sweet revenge for a "stolen win" (my bruin-centric senses are tingling), but is also Cal's realistic chance at reaching the Pac-10......

There were two major controversies surrounding yesterday's Bruin win over Cal. 1. With 7.1 seconds left to go, Cal's Ryan Anderson turned the ball over under full-court pressure from UCLA's Russell Westbrook and Josh Shipp. No foul call. Cal fans claim that a foul should have been called because Westbrook apparently pushed Anderson to the floor, and on top of that he "hacked him in a downward motion" to get at the ball as ESPN's......

The UCLA Bruins were gifted their third consecutive Pac-10 title by the referees in their game against the #7 Stanford Cardinal. With less than two seconds to go at the end of regulation Darren Collison drove to the basket and pulled up for a five-footer. Lawrence Hill went up and blocked the shot. Replays clearly showed that Hill got all ball and absolutely no body contact. So of course Hill got called for the......

I really did think the Arizona State Sun Devils would give the UCLA Bruins more trouble than the Arizona Wildcats. It looks like neither of those squads did much of anything against the Bruins. The Bruins are making a case for themselves nabbing a coveted #1 seed in March Madness by spanking the Sun Devils by 33 points and the Wildcats by 22. What’s really remarkable to witness is how up-tempo the Bruins are......

While most LA basketball fans are in rapt attention while watching the Lakers start their normal mid-season crash due to injuries and enjoying the Clippers being the Clippers, let’s not forget we have another championship caliber basketball team in town: the UCLA Bruins. Currently ranked fifth in the nation by both the AP and Coaches polls, they haven’t looked as dominant as they did at the beginning of the season. With injuries to forward......

Before the questions are asked, please let me state for the record that I graduated from UC Santa Barbara, a college sports powerhouse that hasn't lost a football game since 1990, so I don't have a dog in this fight. Having said that, I was a little surprised at how sensitive it appeared Bruin fans are about the firing of their head coach this afternoon. Again, I am out of the loop, but when......

"Revelation satisfies all doubts, explains all mysteries except her own, and so illuminates the path of life, that fools discover it and stray no more." - William Cowper Sometimes I wonder how it happened. I try to think about how I used to be on the other side, a Cult of Mac hater...a Steve Jobs-despising PC fanboy. But now every time I boot up my Macbook Pro I think about how stupid I am......

If you heard the hysterical sounds of laughter coming from the Los Feliz, Little Armenia, Thai Town and East Hollywood section of Los Angeles Saturday night, it was me. First of all the UCLA Bruins lost to Notre Dame? The fact that Ben Olson got injured in the first quarter and they brought out walk-on quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson to replace him shows something fundamentally wrong with this Bruin program. When Patrick Cowan went down......

Pediatric doctors at the Mattel Children's Hospital rallied against President Bush last week upon hearing that he might actually veto a bill that would invest $35 million in children's health insurance, SCHIP. It was vetoed anyway. This week the UCLA School of Public Health received a $4.25 million grant to research/improve health in low-income families. -- Daily Bruin I guess we could start by, gee...investing in child health insurance for low income families? Football......

The Bruins were lucky enough to get coverage on FSN this time while breaking away from a 10-10 tie at the half to outlast Washington 44-31 last night. Washington's Jake Locker threw three deadly touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. It was a difficult game for the Bruins, until the Huskies' defense started to give during the second half. Each touchdown pass that Locker completed, the Bruins were able to respond to until finally opening......

Every week in college football proves to everyone they don’t know shit about the game. Case in point, #11 UCLA Bruins at Utah Utes. The Bruins had won all eight previous meetings against the Utes including a 31-10 victory on opening day at the Rose Bowl last season. So instead of a UCLA blowout the opposite happened. The Utes blew the Bruins and their #11 ranking out of the stadium 44-6 preventing the Bruins......

Everybody's favorite LA football team the UCLA Bruins face BYU in their home opener at the Rose Bowl tomorrow. If you have tickets, make sure you arrive early for the Air Force fly-by before the game -- it's always a guaranteed tearjerker. Ex-BYUman Ben Olson scoffed at the supposed challenge that BYU brings, stating: "I look at this as any other game.” That's my boy! Unfortunately you cannot catch the game on any of......

- Telemundo puts Mayor Tony's corazon on a leave of absence so they can investigate her - AP - 70 year-old bicyclist killed by an SUV in Tarzana - Daily News - Sticky Fingaz' brother X1 found dead this morning in LA, may have committed suicide - HHNLive - A 13 year-old kid get four fingers blown off thanks to fireworks - LAFD - "L.A. now recycles about 60% of its trash, the highest......

Can I get an 8-Clap please? We are talking about the most accomplished athletic program in NCAA history. UCLA Women's Water Polo won a 5-4 victory over Stanford last Sunday afternoon to capture the 100th NCAA Championship title for the school. The women's team has taken home the top honor 3 years in a row with an astonishing three-season record of 90-6. Bravo ladies. Photo by philroeder via Flickr.......

It's been a good year for the UCLA Bruins. Not only did they beat crosstown rival USC on the gridiron (and spoil the Trojan's national championship bid in the process), they reached the final four in men's basketball and soccer, women's volleyball and soccer, and placed fourth in women's gymnastics. But there was something bigger bruin' in Westwood. UCLA won a national championship title in women's water polo with a 5-4 victory over Stanford......

There have been student reports of gay sexual encounters occuring in the Royce Hall bathroom over the past year. Campus police have confirmed that more than one report has been filed on this matter. One student suggests that gay sex is occuring through holes that exist between the stalls and urinals in the bathroom -- kinky? Some are claiming that gay students (or visitors perhaps) turn to bathroom sex as a way to cope......

Let's first get some stuff out of the way. You know what I'm talking about -- that last year stuff. UCLA lost to Florida in the final round of the NCAA tournament last year by 16 points, outplayed up and down the court. But if you've been watching closely, if you even have a sense of what's going on, you know that a different Bruin team will be marching into the Georgia Dome tomorrow afternoon.......

UCLA Men's Basketball The UCLA Bruins will play the Cal Golden Bears in the PAC-10 Men's Basketball Tournament. As they file of the bus into the local Staple Center, they will be looking for a win against Cal in order to advance and secure the No.1 seed for the NCAA tournament. 2:30pm PT, no television coverage FSN. Two Men Charged in Cadaver Scandal Two individuals involved in the Willed Body Program were arrested yesterday......

The Bruins should have been worried, walking onto a court of 11,000 hardcore WSU fans, jumping and cheering at the top of their lungs -- "should have", but they weren't. Instead they bounced back from a 23-22 halftime deficit and extinguished any notion that they did not have control. UCLA finished the game 53-45 over WSU, and clinched the Pac-10 title; meaning UCLA could become the top seed entering the NCAA Tournament. Arron Afflalo led......

UCLA Men's Basketball is NO.2 in the Nation -- According to the AP and Coaches polls. The Bruins came out strong at home this past Saturday against the Stanford Trees Cardinals. The Ohio Buckeyes comfortably sit at No.1 following their victory against Wisconsin on Sunday. Our friends over at USC moved up to No.23 following an impressive season both at home and on the road. The Bruins finish their season undefeated at home and......

In a stunning victory, bouncing back from their previous night's loss, the Ducks managed to defeat the Bruins last night 68-66. This takes UCLA out of their undefeated season. With UCLA down, Darren Collison nailed a crucial 3-pointer to tie the game at 66. Aaron Brooks then nailed a jumper to give Oregon a 2 point lead over the Bruins. UCLA came back trying to fight the clock but ultimately could not penetrate. Josh......

Madness ensued 90 minutes North of LA after the unranked Gauchos upset the heavily-favored UCLA Bruins in the National Soccer Finals. Hordes of suddenly enthusiastic UCSB soccer fans celebrated in an unusual way by rushing the campus soccer field, yanking a goal from its foundation, and racing it through the streets of Isla Vista before sending it to its watery grave on the beach below the cliffs of Del Playa (video after the jump).......

Today marks the greatest upset in recent NCAAF history. UCLA climbed atop 7 years of defeat to burn USC 13-9. The Victory Bell has been pried from the cold dead hands of the Trojan offense and returned to its rightful home: Westwood. What was said to be impossible has happened. A lot of people are going to have to make good on ridiculous bets tomorrow morning. Patrick Cowan: you showed that you can run......

There's only one question: where does your allegiance lie? The Bruins were slaughtered by the Trojans 66-19 last year with what was considered the best UCLA men's football program in years. What is important to realize however is that last year's USC men's football program was also considered its best in years. While USC lacks the star power of last year's team, Pete Carroll has managed to take this year's additions and turn them......

UCLA completed their last exhibition game last Thursday night coming out on top of Humboldt State. Incoming freshmen Russell Westbrook and Michael Roll had great performances alongside veterans Josh Shipp and Arron Afflalo. Although the team is amidst a major transition this year, Coach Ben Howland has expressed much confidence towards this week’s opener against BYU. Major stumbling blocks to consider include an injury impeding Lorenzo Mata’s playability, as well as recent questions regarding......

UCLA was impressive in winning their home opener 31-10 against a tough Utah team. Most impressive was first-time starter Ben Olson who threw for 318 yards, going 26-35 and connecting for 3 TDs. Even more impressive, and perhaps more important, was the swarming Bruin defense, which ranked near the bottom in previous seasons. They forced 3 turnovers including a 28 yard touchdown on an interception by Alterraun Verner early in the first half. Although......

Tonight at Pauley Pavillion the UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans will take their rivalry from the gridiron to the hardwood. While some may say this version doesn't have the same intensity as in years past or that of the football game, it is a game that is of huge importance to both teams. No. 18 UCLA (14-3; 4-2), despite injury issues, is off to its best start in head coach Ben Howland's three years.......

Where was this LAST week?!?! We've got to hand it to the Bruins. When Coach Dorell said that his team would bounce back from their beatdown against Arizona last week, he wasn’t kidding. Another impressive offensive performance produced another home victory for the UCLA Bruins, 45 - 35 over the Arizona State Sun Devils. FIRST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE… Drew Olson to Joe Cowan, 91 yards, touchdown. Bam! One play, one touchdown. This was the......
