Going to the watch party right now at Pauley. I love this team. Whether they win or lose they will be my champions. I have given them some doubt throughout the season (mostly due the turnover issue). But they have proven me wrong time and time again and I love that. This time they will prove the world wrong as well. Either way let’s go Bruins!!! This community will always support you for your excellence!

Man, ESPN is nothing but South Carolina - Smh

GauchoBruin's avatar

Yep. They LOVE the sec. Just like the last game, when they all chose Texas, they all chose SC. Going to be very disappointed

These Lady Bruins are my all-time favorite team since I first fell in love with UCLA.

May the Blue and Gold RISE and SHINE, and may the JOY be felt in every Bruin heart around the world!

Competitive Greatness!!!

Lol Geno is getting boo'd out of the arena every time he shows up in this video package hahaha.

The irony of the one commercial where he says the key is to remain calm.

I’m interested in seeing whether today’s game will be basketball or rugby. How it’s called may affect the outcome.

Jeffro_TBS's avatar

Will be interesting to see how they call it after the ugly games we saw. However it’s called, we need to adjust to the whistle quickly and back ourselves.

Gen2Bruin1987's avatar

Unfortunately, we may get more of the same as the refs will be a subset of the ones from Friday.

Gen2Bruin1987's avatar

Interesting. Per ESPN, it's a completely group but there are only two listed.

A lot of blue in the lower bowl, but the upper decks seem much more South Carolina. The non-partisan crowd feels like it is leaning towards UCLA as the underdog story going against the dynasty. I think UCLA will have the crowd advantage here, but not by an overwhelming amount.

There is an interesting undercurrent to this game, as this was the national championship matchup many expected to take place last year before UConn stormed through the tournament. UCLA has some new pieces, but there is a lot of change on the part of South Carolina from last year’s squad. I think anyone looking to last year’s regular-season matchup to take anything from it won’t find much in the way of usable information.

Is hoping for a replay of that game acceptable?

Hey Bruins!!!

I’m at Barney’s in Westwood (long story) with a packed house of Bruin fans. What a great environment!!

sc’s athleticism worries me. Hoping our women play their best game and give themselves a chance. Let’s do this!!

GO BRUINS!!! 💙🏀💛

Hello to my Bruin family. Can finally watch game and make comments on thread. I’m in Colorado with my UCLA grad son. Also had a great lunch earlier in the week with Greg Burchim (GBruin). All things Bruins!!

Already a TO. Ugh.

Dimitri Dorlis's avatar

Early foul call on Okot. There's the story of the game right there, whether the refs are lenient on the whistle or call more fouls.

Chenalex's avatar

I counted 2-3 uncalled fouls on South Carolina already
