UCLA beats Stanford: Of course it was a bad call
mercextra.com 3/7/2008 — Check Kawakami’s blog for his on-the-money thoughts about the game specifically and Pac-10 refs in general.

Fran Fraschilla Bashes Pac-10 Refs, Says, 'I Wanted to Run Into a Bathroom and Throw Up'
sports.aol.com 3/7/2008 — 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...
UCLA Slaps Stanford, Wins 3rd Pac-10 Title In Row
sportsbybrooks.com 3/7/2008 — 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...
Stanford vs. UCLA: Another Blown Call?
mvn.com 3/8/2008 — On Thursday night there was a huge showdown in the Pac-10 conference between the Stanford Cardinals and the UCLA Bruins. #2 versus #7. If you didn't catch the game or didn’t watch the highlights, the Bruins won the game in overtime by a score of 77-67. While it might seem like the Bruins won fairly handedly, they sure had no business winning the game.
Pac-10 Refs: 2, Northern California: 0
theplayinca.blogspot.com 3/9/2008 — "So this is what it sounds like when doves cry." I have to admit, as much as I loved to egg on Stanford , I really did think that the Cardinal got a little screwed over in that game against UCLA. The Pac-10 officials had claimed they made the ...
Ask Not For Whom the Whistle Blows
insomniacslounge.com 3/10/2008 — After watching the fallout from the UCLA/Cal game on ESPN, I can pretty much give my take by copying and pasting my post from the Stanford game and changing the names. Yes, it looked like Westbrook fouled Anderson with his offhand (although the strip ...

macgsworld.blogspot.com 3/10/2008 — 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 ...
USC Upset Stanford —
The Big Lead
OJ Mayo and the Trojans just did it to the Cardinal on CBS. ESPN did have a single mention of the game on its front page despite the fact that Stanford is the number 7 ranked team in all the land. How did USC do it?
Controlling the clock. They held the ball and spread out their offense. USC ran it down to under 10 seconds before taking a shot almost every possession past the 10 minute ...
Pac-10 Coordinator of Officiating Weighs in on UCLA-Stanford Controversy —
FanHouse
The controversial end of last night's Stanford-UCLA game has drawn an opinion from nearly every college basketball pundit in the country, but now someone with a clear stake in the matter has weighed in on the matter.

Investigative journalism: Being the Tree —
Randball
Colleague Jeff Shelman points us toward this little bit of fun. Seems Pat Forde over at ESPN.com performed as the Stanford Tree at a recent basketball game . While this doesn’t constitute Pedro Gomez in a Barry Bonds dumpster type of investigative work, it is commendable still.
There are three basic rules for Tree Week:
Don’t light yourself on fire. (There is folklore about ...
Shady Call Means Everyone Still Loves UCLA —
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.

Anyone Out There Not Love UCLA? —
The Big Lead
Over the weekend, no fewer than seven “analysts” had to have pegged UCLA as their favorite to win the NCAA title next month in San Antonio. Barring a loss to Stanford on Thursday, or a collapse in the Pac-10 tournament, the guess is that UCLA’s going to be the favorite to win the title. ( At this point, please allow us to remind you of something: New York Giants 17, New ...
