Another Trojan trying to analyze UCLA hoops
After seeing Trojans comment on UCLA basketball in letters to the LA Times, now we have a Daily Trojan writer giving an opinion. Geez, it's like they don't have their own basketball program over there...oh yeah, that's right, they really don't. The article starts with a section concluding that McGwire, not OJ, might now be the most disgraced member of the Trojan family - uh yeah, steroid use is MUCH worse than (alleged) DOUBLE MURDER. Then it tries to look at the state of our program. A sampling:
UCLA was knocked out in the first round by Oregon State, setting the stage perfectly for their humbling a week later at the hands of that legendary jerk Bob Knight and his Texas Tech Red Raiders.

And for those folks across town who think the team will get better next year - not so fast, my friends.
Then the writer hashes into how Thompson and Morrison will be missed, and how Fey and Hollings are no good, with no mention of any of this year's or next year's freshmen. What thorough analysis!
Comments:
Their bullshit is not even worth reading. Did they forget that we had one of the most productive freshmen classes this season or that we have the Pac 10 freshman of the year? Of course they did. They know nothing about basketball.

Thompson we will miss, but Morrison too? Please! He was good for us in maybe one or two games this season. The Bruins will be better without him.
 
Yeah, the notion that Morrison will be a substantial loss is laughable. I'm surprised they didn't include Josiah Johnson too.

The most significant development of a player often takes place between his freshman and sophomore years, so there's plenty reason for optimism regarding Farmar, Afflalo, Shipp, and don't forget Mata. All of whom, of course, were not mentioned in the Trojie article.
