| Bruins Ride Out Rams - |
| Thanks for joining me for some action-packed opening round action and keep coming back until March Madness is finally through. The Bruins will face the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday, after the Cats almost fell to the 14 seed American. I love this crazy game and now so should you!! |
| Bruins Ride Out Rams - |
| Eric Maynor came within a single shot of becoming a house hold name, but the talented VCu shooting star will have to wait until draft day to delight his plethora of faithful fans. He finishes with 21 points, 6 boards and 6 assists, but with Sanders standing in second with only 10 points and 12 boards, it just wasn't enough to blow the Bruins away. |
| Bruins Ride Out Rams - |
| All five Bruins starters hit double-digits, with Josh Shipp's 16 leading the way to the gold. Collison comes out with only 10 and 2 assists, but the winningest player in UCLA history lives to play another day. Nickola Dragovic turned out 10 points and a game high 13 rebounds, with 6-12 from downtown keeping them over the top. |
| 2nd Half - :00 |
| A split second hesitation makes Maynor miss the mark by a fraction of an inch!! The Bruins hang with the last second defensive stand. Final Score from Philly: Virginia Commonwealth Rams 64 - UCLA Bruins 65 in the opening round victory. |
| 2nd Half - :12 |
| Collison decides to run down the clock and Larry Sanders swoops in to save the day. A bigger block he has not had in his collegiate career and Maynor will have a chance to shock the world in the end!! 65-64, Rams down, with the ball in their main man's hands!! |
