http://www.yardbarker.com/colleges/ucla_bruins/448 Recent articles about UCLA Bruins en-us After a surprising, yet impressive victory over the LSU Tigers on Sunday (which would ultimately lead to the Tigers’ elimination on Tuesday), the UCLA Bruins continued with a 2-1 victory over the NC State Wolfpack, inching their way closer to the College World Series championship series.The Wolfpack struck first, starting off the the third inning with the bases loaded, wherein Trea Turner would rip an RBI single to left field, scoring Bryan Adametz and giving the Wolfpack an early 1-0 lead.Despite being held scoreless for the first four innings, UCLA would rebound in the top of the fifth with a two-run charge led by a Kevin Kramer RBI single that scored Cody Regis, followed by a wild pitch by Wolfpack reliever Grant Sasser that allowed Brenton Allen to score, giving the Bruins a 2-1 lead.The game would witness no further scoring from the fifth inning on, as both teams would witness solid pitching from their bullpens (and in UCLA’s case, a valiant performance from starter Nick Vander...

He slid to number two when Nerlens Noel re-classified and joined this batch instead of 2014. Yet, Shabazz was still coveted, and was the subject of a fierce recruiting war between Duke, Kentucky and UCLA. There were rumors that he chose UCLA because it is an Adidas sponsored school, while the other two are strong Nike schools. The question is, how come Nerlens Noel is at the top of the mock draft (even if he’s injured) and Shabazz is way down at 9-13 spot? Shabazz is probably one of the most criticized players, and while no one questions his talent, doubts have been raised about everything else.     per USA Today:       As the basketball world centers on the NBA draft prospects, nobody is more used to being in the spotlight than guard Shabazz Muhammad. Basketball has been more than a game for him since 2009, when he was named the nation’s No. 1 player in his class as a freshman.     At that point, Muhamma...

LSU fell 2-1 to the UCLA Bruins thanks to uncharacteristic defensive miscues and an offense that couldn't put a runner in scoring position in the latter innings. Even Aaron Nola wasn't lights out, but he didn't allow an earned run, again. More past the break. There are easy places to point fingers, but none of them, taken singularly, are the sole culprit. Mainieri had Rhymes bunting with one on and no outs in the ninth, but when Rhymes got into a 2-0 count Mainieri took the bunt off, promptly allowing Rhymes to hit into another signature double play. Thi wasn't a bad call in and of itself, Rhymes is one of the best hitters on the team with a favorable count. You let him swing away there. Ty Ross's throwing error down the first base line set up UCLA's first run of the night when they got a sac fly. UCLA's second run was scored when Alex Bregman looked like a freshman (a rare, rare ...

Muhammad's pre-draft workout with the Timberwolves does, however, offer up the small forward position as potential top-pick material when June 27 gets here. Tunnel vision eyeing only positional needs can be detrimental, Saunders said. "You're gonna take your best player, when it comes down to it," Saunders said from the Target Center's Lifetime Fitness center Sunday following an 8:30 a.m., 3-on-3 scrimmage and shooting session. "You have needs, and you want to try to get needs, but if there's somebody you feel is going to be a top-flight guy, then you take him."

"We have a little bit of unfinished business," said sophomore relief pitcher David Berg. "This time around, we're really focused on getting the job done and getting that first national championship in program history." The Bruins face LSU on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET, at T.D. Ameritrade Park. The 2012 Bruins looked to have set the tone with a strong open in the College World Series when UCLA's all-time postseason wins leader Adam Plutko limited the Cinderella team of the event, Stony Brook, to just one earned run in a 9-1 win. But the Bruins then fell to eventual champion and Pac-12 foe Arizona and were eliminated by Florida State. It was a much different team in a much different frame of mind.
