What does Ben Howland treat us to tomorrow? UCLA/CSU N -14.5

[MrVJP]

Won't place anything on this game but won't it be fun as hell to watch? If he just cans his offense and lets that NBA talent play they could run over a lot of teams imo

-14.5 who...?

The sad part is I'm only half kidding

If those players have any pride (they musta been getting a whole lot of crap about it on campus) they'll come out and route these guys.. but Ben Howland is leading them so who knows what happens

I dont no a whole lot about Northridge I will say that but dont they recruit mostly transfers out of JUCO colleges? Hard nosed kids that just want to play hard day in and day night? Older more mature kids

UCLA Big man Josh Smith HAS LEFT THE PROGRAM, he's had it w/ HC Howland.

It's possible in seasons before this one- not really sure- but I know this squad here is one of the youngest in the NCAA. They like to just run up and down, gamble on steals/pressure, drive to basket etc. 0 seniors, 3 jrs;

Just saw this one ESPN and was going to post it here. Despite of Howland, he should have been better conditioned..

Josh Smith was thought of by some to be a poison on the team. Myself...def not he's a KID but despite all that he wasn't playing significant minutes, had a bad year last year and a brutal start this year.

Hope this helps

lol -14.5

Men came to play today Howland changed his defensive scheme slightly- will give him credit there. Powell is out of control.. chucking bad shots, trying for SportsCenter dunks that miss. This team won't go far unless they learn how to shoot long range jumpers.
