UCLA Advances but Western Kentucky Also Wins

Posted 3/28/2008 on FanIQ Blog

* Standing applause for the Hilltoppers * I'm not a fan of moral victories in sports, but there are a few exceptions. Western Kentucky had no business being with 4 points of UCLA with 6:00 left. Even less, when you factor in that the Hilltoppers were down 21 points at halftime and refused to go down that way. Tyrone Brazelton would have kept playing all night, as long as it ...

Western Kentucky Mounting Comeback Against a Foul Troubled UCLA

Posted 3/28/2008 on FanHouse

Since I last talked to you , Western Kentucky has made a run on UCLA. After trailing by 21 at the half, the Hilltoppers have outscored the Bruins 29-15 in the second half to trail (as I write this) by nine. There is under 9:00 left in the game. How did they do this? Get UCLA in foul trouble. Russell Westbrook , Darren Collison and Josh Shipp have all got four fouls apiece. Because those guys ...

Sweet 16 Preview: West Region

Posted 3/27/2008 on Rush the Court

- #1 UCLA vs. #12 Western Kentucky (9:40 PM): Already more than one analyst has declared that WKU is going to pull off the monumental upset in this game. And one UCLA blog is seriously tempting the Weauxfgods with its rather brazen mocking of the Hilltoppers’ chances in tonight’s game. So we ask ourselves - is this possible? Could UCLA lose to a double-digit seed in the Sweet 16? ...

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, Ty Rogers' Buzzer Beater Over Drake

Posted 3/21/2008 on FanIQ Blog

To quote my man Gus, "THIS is March Madness!" Western Kentucky led by as much as 16 points in the second half, but Jonathan Cox's 17 points in a 10 minutes span pulled the Drake Bulldogs back to take the game to overtime. Before that happened I think the Hilltoppers were robbed of a potential opportunity at the free throw line to win in regulation. Tyrone Brazelton ...
