I just wanted them to fight for it. Awesome win, just awesome, found their weaknesses and won a good one against a team who hasn't lost in a long time and handed us one lately.

Nice win, with a lot of scorers not scoring much in this game.

Also that was pretty good D.

We did not play our best. Remy and Ced disappeared and it is clear to me Kerr is hesitant to shoot. These teams are even and we were lucky to win tonight. It was for the championship so I'll take it but really disappointed in two of our main guys. Larson played the game of his life on defense. Everything for both teams was hard. Congrats to the Cats winning the tourney again.

Agreed.!!!!

UCLA battling like this two men down, should contrast nicely with KU’s second consecutive beatdown by Texas!!!

And we should be a solid #2

Yes, he also gave a smart ass response to the first question “how did you pull it out?”.

Wow. Cronin complaining about the offensive foul call. He said that was his takeaway of the game.

Always love reading the Bruin site after a closely fought game. They have a few guys that really do good dissecting a game. Fuzzy is not one of them. He says that Larsson was flashing white supremacist hand signals after his made shots. A few guys tried to correct him but he wasn't having any of it. Love the passion. FN idiot.

Was he complaining about the clear walk also? How about the obvious tech on Pelle's face? He would not be my favorite coach. I think Sean had him pegged when he said every year a coach in his old conference would say he had a young team when they had one of the most experienced.

He has a great team. To bad he feels he needs to make excuses for them.

Ugly game all around. A win but one with an asterisk since UCLA was down two starters. Plus the team that wins the regular season conference title is the true champion in my opinion. Congrats to the Cats considering they've done so well losing 3 key starters from last year. CTL has done an amazing job.

Watching a replay of the Ramey 3, Larsson first finds Zu for the open three then off the miss the ball gets batted to him and he basically does a volleyball move to bat it back out to Zu who then finds Ramey for the winning shot.

Love Pelle’s activity and unselfishness. It’s plays like that that win championships.

Kriisa, Ramey and Henderson with a combined 11 points and 3 assists. No assists for Kriisa at all.

Larsson with 11 points and 5 assists himself. Boswell 7 points, 3 dimes.

Ramey reminded me so much of Salim v. UCLA. Just so much confidence.

I respect Doug's tweet but i don't agree with it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's always tough to win 3 games in 3 days. Give credit where credit is due. I just wish we could have better success in the real tournament. Maybe this year we will finally have some good luck. It's certainly long overdue.

I think it is interesting to say UCLA is tough as hell when all they talked about was being down two guys. What did we do? Omar played the whole game with a broken hand and did he, the coaches or any teammates mention it or make excuses? NOPE. You could see it during the UCLA game because he could not control the ball and it was stripped a lot. Tough dudes.

Oumar hasn't missed a game or given a single excuse all season long despite his injuries and ailments. He's an absolute warrior.
