Didion and I watched the UCLA-Cal basketball game yesterday. I like to point out good play to him –unselfish, solid team play, like making the extra pass — unfortunately, the game had few good lessons for Didion. UCLA got another undeserved win, thanks to poor officiating and luck, not team work or smart play. Living so far from Westwood, we have seen very few UCLA games this season; I hope these recent games were the exception and they can soon revert to the quality basketball that (we assume) led to a number 3 ranking. Individual talent and the aforementioned luck will not be enough for a deep tournament run.

Later last night, we caught some of the UNC-Duke game. UNC looked good; it is going to be tough to pick against them in my bracket.

C-USA tournament begins next Wednesday. Go Owls!
