Former Manhattan, St. John's and New Mexico head basketball coach Fran Fraschilla, now a college basketball commentator for ESPN, isn't usually the type to trash the officials. But last night's Stanford-UCLA debacle was too much for him: "There's one place left in my opinion where that still goes on, where the home team, or the team that's favored to win, gets the advantage. I hate to say it...

Mac Gs World
While staying up late last night polishing off my weekly allowance of 3 Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's, I witnessed the UCLA/Stanford basketball game. The Bruins were able to grab 2 huge offensive rebounds in the final minute and benefit from a questionable foul call to put away the Cardinals in overtime. The Bruins victory clinched the Pac 10 championship and gave me an excuse to show off some ...

FanHouse
There seems to be an awful lot of bellyaching coming from Stanford after this foul call in the closing minutes of UCLA's win over Stanford . But you know what, the referees made the right call.

The Big Lead
It’s not quite on the level of Georgetown-Villanova or Tennessee-Rutgers , but there was a pretty horrendous call last night at the end of regulation in UCLA-Stanford. Down two, UCLA’s sub-6-foot guard Darren Collison drove baseline and was met by Stanford’s 6-foot-8 Lawrence Hill.

Three was a special number for UCLA Thursday night. The 3rd-ranked Bruins clinched their 3rd-straight Pac-1o regular-season title with a 77-67 OT win over 7th ranked Stanford .
In addition, UCLA set a new regular-season school record by notching their 27th victory of the year. Coincidentally, 27 is divisible by 3 (3 x 9 = 27), as is the 144 total points scored in Thursday’s game (3 ...

Obscure Sports Quarterly
What a game. In a battle of top-10 teams that would decide who won the Pac-10, UCLA was losing to Stanford by 11 with five minutes left in the game.
Been there, done that — if any team knows how to come from behind, it’s UCLA, closing on a 18-7 run to send the game into overtime and win 77-67 . Watching the game, even though Stanford was dominating at times and the ...

FanHouse
Stanford doesn't always play 40 minutes of great basketball, but when they put everything together they show why they've achieved a Top 10 ranking this year. After struggling for most of the first half, the Cardinal overcame an 11-point halftime deficit and topped Washington State 60-53 in Palo Alto. Brook Lopez keyed the comeback, scoring 19 of his 23 points in the second half and generally ...
