So it's finally upon us... The rematch of the century (OK, maybe not SO much) between the two teams that disputed the NCAA title last year has just started, and your humble scribe couldn't be MORE excited. Granted, the odds are still against my beloved Bruins (with all sports commentators/forecasters worth their dime predicting a Florida victory and repeat win on Monday against Ohio State) but, if anything else, I'm expecting Afflalo, Collison and crew to give them a run for their money. Obviously, for the Bruins to even have a chance of cracking the formidable Gator squad (with 5 starters running from last year's champion squad), they'll have to fire on all counts, not make any stupid mistakes (definitely not a given) and put up the best defense they can muster under the net.
If, and only IF, they can perform to the best of their ability do they have a chance of keeping up (and, do I dare dream, "defeat") with the Florida players. Well, the game's just about to start. Here goes nothing!
UPDATE: Not looking too good right now. Afflalo has already been benched with 3 fouls with less than 5 minutes played. UCLA NEEDS him on the floor scoring points (like he did spectacularly against Kansas a week ago) if it wants to have a chance of winning. Talk about a good start...
