That could be correct then. I looked on the UCLA website and they usually have exhibition next to those games, but it's a unique situation right now.

I'm noticing that if you want free rep, just post in thread and you get free rep from RC97. It's not really helping his cause, but hey, why not get that sweet sweet rep haha

Are they counting the second win over The Beach?
I think it's being counted. Probably better of it wasn't. Was hoping that game would kick start the team but everyone is ice cold right now.
So weird that playing Long Beach State twice isn't helping this team....
Nobody else wanted to come on short notice to fill the dates. COVID sucks

I mean, Arizona had trouble getting anyone to come play a home game themselves. Not sure it's any different for a game at Pauley

I was told by numerous UCLA fans not-Bug that
1) it's impossible to set up a game on short notice
2) the conference wanted more exposure than a Thursday night at 7 (so they picked a Tuesday at 8)
3) UCLA isn't scared of us

So it was wonderful to see them shit themselves, although I'm bummed it was against scummy Altman and Oregon

The Trollops don't seem to rely so much on Juicy Chaingang as much as they used to.

I tried, RC97 isnt an exhibitionist unfortunately.

In all seriousness, I asked the mods and they had no problem with me reverse trolling RC97. He doesn't care about UCLA, he doesnt think anyone else cares about UCLA, when he starts acting like less of mental midget and more like an adult, I suspect we can all get back to our love about all things UCLA in this one small thread on this site.

Can we talk about UCLA being in trouble tomorrow night? I'm expecting a war similar to the old days when both teams just threw daggers at each other and the level of play was FF worthy.

Neg rep me if you want but F*ck the Bruins.

I don't think I've negrepped anyone in years, but feel free to respond how you want!

As for the game, I'm expecting a blowout. We haven't recovered from the layoff yet. It's like starting the conference in November. JJJ is noticably out of shape still from the COVID issues. Tyger has a jacked up thumb. Riley and Jules aren't there yet either. Only Juzang seems to be clicking at the moment. He did the heavy damage last year in the tournament, but the other teammates weren't struggling as much either.

Tl;Dr: We aren't good right now

UCLA is starting to come together a bit here now - Juzang has played really well over the last 5 game stretch, he looks like he can go for 30 any time out again and that spells trouble for Bruin opponents.

Jaquez is so experienced and skilled, if he can start to round into more consistent form UCLA is going to be such a tough team to play in March.

JJJ figuring things out will be big for UCLA going forward. He's the de facto PF, even if he is undersized. He needs to be a mismatch on the offensive end, otherwise it's a lost position on the court.

as long as Juzang can fill it up and Jaquez is healthy and in form UCLA can beat anyone so long as Campbell dont ruin it all.

Juzang is the real deal, he was a bit uneven and now is playing like an all-american type player his last five games.

Campbell's shot is rounding into form, though the thumb injury might derail that.

Well, we are on the road unexpectedly on a Tuesday missing our second best player and a 10 minute rotation guy so this game should be pretty close ya sandbaggin’ son of a gun…
