In addition to our usual game thread here on the web, we’re going to try holding a Zoom gathering of Bruin fans.
Now, since this is a bit of a test run, we may be subjected to Zoom’s time limits. If that’s the case, we will share another Meeting ID here and in the room. We will try to have a room open for the entire game, even if we have to change rooms a few times while we test this out.
Of course, please be mindful of everyone and mute your TV whenever your microphone is unmuted.
The Mighty Bruin Zoom Party
We are also excited to announce that we will try something new today for the Ohio State game. We will be holding our first The Mighty Bruin Zoom Party! So, if you’re watching the game and want to virtually meet up with some fellow Bruin fans, join our Zoom meeting! Here are the deets:

UCLA this year is a team that doesn’t commit a lot of fouls. I noticed that trend the last few weeks but I thought it was just some home cooking. But UCLA has 4 fouls and OH St is already in the double bonus.
Cronin also made a great in-game adjustment. he got Cody Riley 3 open layups, one of them that was batted away for a goaltending call.
Hard fought game. Defense played well but offense went cold. Ohio state also figured out how to counter our 3/4 press too in the second half. Juzang needs to spend some time in the gym practicing his 3s.
Refs missed a backcourt call it seems that could’ve been huge for UCLA but with the offense playing as bad as it did, probably wouldn’t have made a difference.
Didn’t get to watch the second half until the last 3 minutes. Stats look like UCLA starters need to not be starting in the next few games. Singleton kyman and Jules are better than juzang and clearly he can’t shoot as well as the hype. When Campbell plays that bad, Singleton or even Jules should be in there instead. He’s not a “shooter” and should not be taking 10 shots and only making 1.. unacceptable
The one whose starting position should most be in jeopardy is Smith. He has checked out. You can't have someone come in with this much hype not contribute.
UCLA was getting wide open looks at the end that I saw. Not sure how the rest of the second half went, but UCLA doesn’t have players that need to “shoot out of a slump”. They need to be playing the hot hand... Jules kyman and Singleton shot a combined 3-5 and yet two of them rode the bench? That’s a coaching mistake in my opinion. Hill also would have been a fine replacement for smith who clearly didn’t do anything to get better during the covid break. Sort of shocking how bad he’s looked this year
U!
Hey, Greg, if you're not working, join the Zoom party
Kentucky is wasting our time with a bunch of bricks and delaying our start right into football

Smith losing PT to Bernard
Exciting game. Both teams are playing quite well.
Smith an enigma. Why does a player's game go from exceptional to poor? Is he hung up with what the NBA told him?
Need Jaime and Smith to step up their offense now
Smith is invisible today.
Impressed with rebounding edge 26-19
You gotta make some shots.
If Smith and Juzang don't score, we're threw
Yeah no points in four minutes at the end of the game isn’t going to win.

Another lousy game by Smith. SMH.
