    True, but getting benched for any amount of time against any opponent sucks for a playler.

    UC and Marshall playing a good one

    UC lucky as 25 foot shot gets lodged between rim and backboard and Marshall had 3 guys ready to rebound....but arrow to UC and just 27 seconds left. UC held for last shot, got two offensive tips on the rebound and went to UC player for 8 foot game winner with .7 on clock

    UCLA-Oregon is a great game but Bill Walton is making it unwatchable.
  • cat_lover
    UCLA / Oregon is a very entertaining game but Bill Walton is the worst commentator in any sport bar none.

    You should both be ashamed of yourselves. Bill Walton is a god amongst men. The best announcer on air, by far!

    Yeah, no shit. It is these type of games that make us realize with Crean they will never get back to the levels they used to be on a consistent basis.

    They are first place in the big 10,,,,,,, Even to this day it doesnt seem like a big 10 game. They were 6-6 and lost at home recently to Gardner fucking webb. They have played, and lost 3 games to top 15 teams but still a bad, bad loss for Indiana.

    No idea but ESPN Stats and Info account put this out there earlier on twitter "This would be the 3rd time ever that top-10 Duke and top-10 UNC have lost on the same day."

    Lower back surgery...Hope it goes better than last time.

    Back problems suck.

    They gave a stat that the last time top 10 ranked UNC and Duke lost on the same day was 1989.

    Hopefully K recovers alright, I always forget how old he is (70 next month), so anything you get done at that age is risky and recovery can be slow.
