The agency will represent Juzang’s name, image, and likeness. “NIL is such a great opportunity for collegiate athletes to generate something from their name while in […]

Russell Westbrook is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Let that sink in.  If you told this to Lakers fans years ago, they would think that you’re crazy. Westbrook has spent all these years killing the Lakers with whatever team he was playing for. He’s almost at the end of his prime and […]

LiAngelo Ball is on the cusp of making an NBA roster. While nothing’s for certain until he plays his first minute on the hardwood next season, the Charlotte Hornets certainly seem keen on giving him a fair shake. The path for Gelo Ball to get to this point has been littered with a few stumbling […]

It’s no secret that Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine hasn’t had much team success in the NBA. LaVine started his career with the rebuilding Minnesota Timberwolves and was then traded to the rebuilding Bulls. He hasn’t sniffed the playoffs since coming into the league in 2014. But did you also know that LaVine hasn’t even […]

Surprise, surprise, it looks like the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Baylor Bears are set to meet again in the 2022 National Championship Game. At least, according to the oddsmakers. After one of the wilder and more dramatic NCAA Tournaments in recent memory, the two top teams in college basketball have been given the best odds to […]

Despite the heartbreak of not making it to the NCAA championship game, UCLA maintained its historic milestone after Gonzaga’s loss to Baylor on Monday. The 1995 class of UCLA still holds the longest winning streak entering the NCAA Tournament of any national champion since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers. The 1995 Bruins, led by future NBA […]

Johnny Juzang has burst onto the scene in recent weeks — and caught the attention of NBA scouts — with his play in the NCAA Tournament. Juzang put on a show to lead the 11th-seeded UCLA Bruins to the Final Four, and he played brilliantly in Saturday’s epic game against Gonzaga, a moment which will […]

Johnny Juzang certainly made a name for himself in his first year with the UCLA Bruins. While his season has now come to a bitter end thanks to that dagger of a shot from Gonzaga Bulldogs star Jalen Suggs, the Vietnamese-American swingman’s NBA stock is at an all-time high right now. Apart from his seemingly […]

Former Gonzaga Bulldog Adam Morrison understandably went bonkers on Saturday upon witnessing Jalen Suggs bail out his alma matter with a game-winning half-court heave against the UCLA Bruins in the NCAA Tournament Final Four. The retired NBA player, who now moonlights as a commentator for Gonzaga Radio, had an epic reaction after seeing one of […]

LeBron James is no stranger to people talking about his hair. The Los Angeles Lakers star has faced scrutiny for this hairline from clearly bored NBA fans, even charting his headband movement over the years. However, he was on the other side this time, reacting to a ‘hilarious’ thread on another player’s locks – UCLA […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James sent a tweet about the officiating in the NCAA Final Four match between the UCLA Bruins and the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Saturday.

Gonzaga Bulldogs star Jalen Suggs came up with a big defensive stop down the stretch in their Final Four game against the UCLA Bruins.

Johnny Juzang is no doubt the hottest name in college basketball right now. After all, the formerly relatively unknown swingman just led the 11th ranked UCLA Bruins to the Final Four for the first time since 2008. Sure, the 20-year-old shooter is a household name now, but not a lot of people are aware of […]

In this post, we’re looking at Mirck Cronin’s net worth in 2021. More on that in second, though. Mick Cronin is the head coach of this year’s big Cinderella story: the UCLA Bruins. UCLA is not used to being considered an underdog and they have come to play this year. After a close first four […]

The UCLA Bruins are aware that most everyone has the undefeated Gonzaga Bulldogs winning it all next Monday in the 2021 NCAA championship game, in what would be a perfect coronation for Mark Few’s good men. And it’s certainly possible. The Zags have looked unstoppable for most — if not all — of the season, […]

Ah, UCLA, it’s so good to have you back. After what seems like a century-long hiatus, the UCLA Bruins are back in the NCAA Final Four and are the second team ever to make it all the way from March Madness’s First Four round to this point. Junior sharpshooter Johnny Juzang (90% FT) is looking […]

The No. 11 seeded UCLA Bruins are seeking to continue their Cinderella run as they successfully booked their ticket to the Final Four.

The UCLA Bruins are still dancing in March, and one of the best players to come out of the school’s program is rightfully celebrating the latest victory.

That's […]

The UCLA Bruins cruised in overtime to defeat second seed Alabama Crimson Tide 88-78 in a thrilling game on Sunday.

Student-athletes can n0w forego their collegiate career by going straight to the G League, which has ruffled some feathers. Mick Cronin, the head basketball coach at UCLA, called out the NBA for prying Daishen Nix away from the program ahead of the 2020 season. “(Nix) was signed. And the NBA – trust me – they […]

This game features two teams that have pulled off shocking wins early in the tournament. The Abilene Christian Wildcats take on the UCLA Bruins in a bout that is scheduled for two halves.

Among other things in this NCAA odds post, we’ll be making our UCLA-Michigan State prediction, pick and so much more ahead of this daring March Madness game. It’s hard to […]

In a year where regions don’t really matter because all March Madness games will be played in and around Indianapolis, it is still pleasant to the eye to have the bracket split up into four different mini brackets of sorts, separated by regions. In the east, the Michigan Wolverines are the number one seed and […]

It’s a March Madness “Battle of the Blue Bloods” for two programs that had no expectation of playing in the First Four when the season began. Michigan State and UCLA are two of the most successful programs of all time. Tom Izzo and Mick Cronin will have to fight tooth and nail to prove that […]

When your father is an NBA superstar and you play for one of the top high school basketball teams in the country, you’re going to garner a lot of attention.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson went after the UCLA track and field program for just now dismissing Bruins runner Chris Weiland after Weiland was found using racist and sexist language.
