The Bruins are on a 22-6 run and the game is getting out of control early. The Matador defense has been very poor during the stretch, giving up easy penetration and countless layups. Their offense has been just as bad…nice alley-oop pass from Jenkins to Townsend, though, and that leads to a Ben Howland timeout for UCLA. Bruins up 20 with three and a half left to play in the first half. 37-17. UCLA is shooting 70 percent from the… Read more

Jenkins looks to have hurt his left knee. We’re not sure if he’s really hurt, or if Braswell just wanted extra time to rally his troops without calling a timeout. Maybe he’ll reappear on a wheel chair and will CSUN to the victory. He’s jumping around on the sideline, looks like he’ll enter back into the game. 26-13 Bruins

The four point lead ballooned to a 15-point lead in a matter of a few minutes. The UCLA defense is swarming the ball, not letting the Matadors have any good looks. Only if Shipp’s brother Joe, a former UCLA and Fairfax star, panned out to be as good as Josh. Matadors transition game has been terrible thus far. They have had opportunities for easy baskets but aren’t passing the ball well enough. Two CSUN free throws close the gap. 24-11

Shipp is carrying the load offensively for UCLA. He’s about to go to the line for his second three point opportunity in the last two minutes. The Matador cheerleaders made the drive over here and haven’t had a whole lot to get up and cheer about as of yet. 22-9 Bruins…Shipp missed the free throw but scored after an offensive rebound

The Matadors are getting everything from the perimeter, not getting the ball inside. A Jenkins pull up 3 and a breakaway layup brought CSUN to within 4 at 13-9 Shipp with a layup and the foul to extend the lead to 16-9

CUSN is just 1-8 from the floor to start the game. They’ve air-balled three. Looks like nobody wants to take the shot for them. Meanwhile UCLA cant seem to miss.

The Matador defense is a little over aggressive to start the game, biting on every pump fake and giving up open looks. On offense CSUN has shot three straight air balls. Braswell brought usual starters Jenkins and Tresvant into the game three minutes after tip. UCLA up 9-2

Matadors-Willie Galick, Matthew Wallace, Tremaine Townsend, Rob Haynes, Kenny Daniels Bruins-James Keefe, Alfred Aboya, Jrue Holiday, Darren Collison, Josh Shipp Can you guess the two main NBA prospects?

For a guy who has the court named after him, you would figure he’d be in his seat by now. However, we did spot a Pau Gasol jersey in the crowd. Wonder if he knows the Lakers are playing right now. Bruin male cheerleaders are waiving the UCLA flags very professionally. We wonder if they learned that in Cheerleading 101. Both teams in their final shootarounds now. One minute until starting lineups
