Is the fix on for UCLA basketball?

TEAMS: UCLA Bruins

I don't know about you, but as a college basketball fan, I'd much rather see a complete underdog go all the way, or the top four seeds in the country. No middle ground, give me One Shining Moment or the flashing lights of the big-time programs.

  • It's funny, last game that guy got MUGGED on the inbounds pass, no call. Then the "Wilt Chamberlain Rule" was not called by the officials who stated they didn't get a good look at it when it clearly went over the back board. I don't know they could easily and should have 4 or 5 losses, but what can you do?

  • UCLA has definitely been playing under a lucky star lately. Unfortunately, in these instances, you end up disliking the team instead of the refs. But, I'd much rather see teams earn it versus it being given to them (Carolina included, TC).

The CBS Evening News ended their broadcast with a profile on 11-year-old Jayshawn Augusto. A 4'9" baller/track standout, who rarely misses a shot and can run a 4:40 mile, his aerobic metabolism is such that he hardly even sweats. Additionally, he's apparently pretty good in the classroom and seems to have his head on his shoulders. The 5th grader has even received ogling...
