Bona not playing for UCLA. Bad news. 20-17 UCLA. Amari Bailey on fire with 9 points.

The best thing about this final 16 is that the Fowl Birds had to watch it on tv👍!

Amazing UCLA is up without 2 starters. They really need their 2 backup bigs to play well. I fear Timme may wear them down.

FAU is keeping it close. I hope they can somehow get the win. For the record, had we beaten Tenn and then FAU, I think K-State would've ended our year.

Chris, it is remarkable how well UCLA is doing. Mick Cronin is a great coach. I think whoever wins this one gets rolled by the Huskies, though. Hurley has those guys playing elite defense.

Timme is carrying the Zags. No way they win this unless their guards get involved. Impressed with UCLA's resolve with all that they have been through. I think Danny Hurley is going to a FF on Saturday, btw.

How salty will Gonzaga fans be if they lose to UCLA without their SG and center? Still a whole half left though. Bleed I'd say no but these guys are tough.

Once Duke loses, I generally lose interest for the rest of that weekend. Then I often switch to rooting against UNC, UK, & Kansas. Well, that can’t happen this year.

Anyone but UCONN or Tennessee. UCONN would tie us with 5 titles if they get another. And Tennessee for obvious reasons.
Hard to believe UConn would have one more title than KU if they win it; oh snap I forgot about that Helms trophy in 1878!
Agree about those two; don’t want UCLA to get 12 either

I hope they don't blow their wad. If they hold on and win, I will be the biggest Bruins fan alive on Saturday. Of course, I won't be watching any bball Saturday; I will be seeing The Boss in Gboro that night! Had Duke won last Saturday, and tonight it would've made for a very interesting evening.

UCLA up 13 at the half.
Springsteen? Nice. I really like the Tunnel of Love album.
I am seeing Springsteen Saturday and the Eagles the week after next. Very excited. Tunnel of Love is awesome. Darkness on the Edge of Town as well, but I ******* love The River. Stolen Car and Drive All Night are probably in my top 5 songs by the boss.

The Eagles are still touring without Glenn Frey? I love the Eagles.
Yep, Vince Gill is with them. I had a bad wreck this December and totaled my car. I had to order myself a car that still isn't here, and my dad loaned me his truck for this entire time. So, the Eagles are his favorite band, and I wanted to repay him. I got the tickets, surprised him, and he cried. I had only seen my dad cry four times in my life, and now five after I gave him the tickets.

The Eagles are like the American Beatles. You watch the Long Run video and it's like "damn, that is a lot of talent in one band."

Two keys as to why FAU is putting the pressure on the vols. They’re controlling the pace, but the biggest thing is they’ve been ready for the physicality.

A major shout out should go to Bilas. His words after our game has put some attention on Barnes and his crew that they would rather not have.
