Cronin should've gotten tarmaced after the MI game. 10 or even 15 points I can maybe forgive, but 30 is the sign of a team that dgaf any more.

Good evening RF&W! Our guys put up a pretty good first half in Ann Arbor, but came out very flat in the second, didn't make shots we shoulda. We got into shot clock pressure and threw up clangers. Meanwhile they were getting the sweet roll in.

What does it say about Gonzaga which lost by 40 to Michigan then?

Good evening, Chenalex! Anyone can have a good night. The Wolverines were getting so many sweet roll ins in the second half while we just clanged. I think our conditioning is poor and it's up to the players to get in shape for the game

We're still number 2 in playground parlance.

chip cronin is a safe bet to carry on, as the YoungestTo500 (tm 🤣) is beloved by the donut on aisle 6.

As Chen stated below, Agostini is gone... he was a force in the SoFi move, beginning in 2024.

My only (and it may be faint) hope is that the very public Rose Bowl case, with full discovery, will expose all the donut's jelly. If it does, then he may be next to exit.

A girl can dream 🤣

Hi my friend! I will be there on Thursday!!! 💙💛💙💛

We have friends that have season tickets, as it turns out, my wife is visiting this weekend (we live in the Palm Springs area), and they are going to the game! I am most worried about USC going forward since it is a rivalry game otoh I don't see the Lady Bruins losing another game this year...

Tamara's avatar

That sounds so much fun! 💙💛

I am also worried about suc as they have been playing much better and it's at Galen. But we have such great leadership and chemistry... I think we will win 🙏💙💛

Interesting for the lineup changes that YoungestTo500™ said was going to happen.

I'm sure that will set the Bruins back on track...

Chenalex's avatar

The only lineup change that makes sense is moving Dailey to the bench and have him exclusively bakc up Bilodeau at the 4. It would be an offensive and defensive improvement.

Tamara's avatar

And Skyy, Perry and Dent all together 🙏💙💛

Yes, we can dream, can't we?

Good evening, Bruin Friends, happy Fat Tuesday! We will certainly need Bilo to have his shot tonight and for Books to have at least a decent game. Go Bruins!

I won’t be watching today as I’m taking part in some lunar new year festivities with family. Prob follow along on my phone or I’ll just catch the replay on peacock, so good luck bruins!

On an interesting ucla non-basketball note, according to Ben Bolch, the Murphy Hall exec that was pushing the move to the Rose Bowl, Stephen Agostini, has left his post. He was tasked with finding ways for UCLA’s athletic department to raise revenue and was moderately successful in reducing the AD’s budget deficit last year

A letter from Chancellor Frenk was posted saying the CFO was no longer serving his duties effective immediately. Article in the Daily Bruin too. Yikes!

Good evening, Bruin Mama, I hope you and yours are well. Go Bruins!

Lots of rain here during this latest storm but all good!

kingjim1954's avatar

I saw a video of some duded surfing a street in Long Beach being pulled by a vehicle. Man I remember those surf turkeys! My buddy and I would go out to the piers during a storm to watch the ocean and see the die hard surfers attempting to make a go of it in the wild water.

I'm in Nor Cal so we get the kayakers! lol

Tamara's avatar

Hi sweet Jim!!! So wonderful to see you 💙💛

Tamara's avatar

Yes, Agostini was the CFO. His assistant was arranging the meetings with SoFi, Kroenke Sports, etc, according to emails back in 2024.

As I posted on X (formerly Twitter) earlier today, let's hope that Agostini's departure puts an end to the nonsense of UCLA football leaving the Rose Bowl!

Tamara's avatar

Hi BruinMom! So happy you are here this eve!!! 💙💛

BruinMom17's avatar

Hoping the team has a short memory and they come out ready to play!

kingjim1954's avatar

Enjoy your festivities, Chenalex! I hope we get to...

BruinMom17's avatar

Starting line up is posted. ED is starting not benched. Others are Bilo, Perry, Booker, and Dent.

Tamara's avatar

Darn, I was hoping to see Skyy start.

BruinMom17's avatar

Same! Lewin thinks he will play 20 minutes possibly off the bench.

kingjim1954's avatar

U! clap! clap! clap!

Tamara's avatar

C! Clap! Clap! Clap!

kingjim1954's avatar

Dent, but we're still burning up too much shot clock!

Tamara's avatar

Dent again! 💙💛

BruinMom17's avatar

Wow we got a foul called in our favor!

Tamara's avatar

EDJ for 3!!! 💙💛

BruinMom17's avatar

He needs to bring his A game tonight and play the entire game - no disappearing act

Tamara's avatar

We need to defend the 3!
