MBB HT: UCLA 30 STAN 22 - washingtonismoney - 01-05-2013
The most entertaining thing about this game is Bill Walton, who has spent large portions of the half cracking on Stanford's offense. "When these guys apply for work at Google," he proclaimed near halftime, "and talk to Larry and Sergei, this isn't the tape they'll show."
Which, duh, yeah. Stanford came out of the gates strong but weren't able to build a durable lead -- opening up 4-0; but it should've been, in more competent hands, 8-0 or 10-0 or something. The offense looks turgid and spacing stinks. Dwight Powell is playing pretty well; Huestis is giving good effort on the defensive end...and that's about it.
(UCLA also doesn't exactly look spectacular, but, well, I don't care about them.)

Walton's been throwing in references to his stint at the law school, dropping names of a couple of professors and mentioning the intramural league championship. He started the year after me. Seems like every time I saw him he was with Prof. Heller, usually at Maples. Then his knee got better and he was gone.

Last year season was really the only case of that. In prior years his teams were 3-6, 4-7 and 3-5 in early conference games. So this doesn't represent precipitous decline, just more of the same.
Relatively fast, I meant. The team fades (relatively) in the second half of conference play.

To clarify, I never thought TJ was a great coach, but that line is more for him being a douchebag when he left, throwing a kid like Mitch Johnson under the bus during his LSU presser.
I should probably update that....
