The Ghost Of Holidays Future: Early Season Events In 2012...And Beyond
Now that Thanksgiving 2011 is only a memory and the calendar will flip over to December in a matter of hours, the focus of college basketball is shifting from a two-week run of early season tournaments to conference challenges and neutral-site showcases, at least until we have a few final in-season...

Oops, just realized Sunday night that I never went back and added a writeup to this post. Thanksgiving weekend got me all scrambled up, I guess. Not too much to say in this one that I won't say better in Monday's entry, but I was impressed by Virginia Tech's effort against Syracuse (and...
UCLA Basketball Remains Winless Against Division I
This is a low point. The box score is here but does not tell the story as it was not that close. ESPN is hyping and acting surprised at any point the game is close. Bruins fans "everyWear" are making bad puns that are not as bad as Travis and David's defense and shot selection. The fat jokes are...

OK, I lied. Instead of Friday's and Saturday's results on Sunday, you get those results plus those from Sunday on Monday. Blame my workplace, which once against caused me seismic headaches and blew me off schedule. Follow the jump for final results from the Puerto Rico Tip-Off and 2K Sports...
UCLA vs. Chaminade/Maui Invitational Opening Round Basketball Preview
Starting today, UCLA will play three games in three days. For those watching UCLA sports this year that means we could go 0-5 to start the year. All right, maybe that is too pessimistic, right? But before the season I thought this would be a look ahead preview but right now it is a...
Bruin Bites: Chaminade Profile, $1.4 Million for Anderson School, and Chandler Hoffman Profile
Once again, the legions of Bruin faithful will enjoy a Sunday afternoon following a characteristic bounce-back win for the Bruins, after UCLA dismantled absolutely woeful Colorado, 45-6. The Bruins got hot early and put their cleats on the throats of the Buffalos, going up 21-0 in the first...
