To all the fools whining about CMC and this year's team..

You oughta look at this list. UC Santa Barbara and San Diego State have players listed, but not a single Bruin.

That's not a knock on this team, it's an affirmation that CMC built this team to be more than the sum of its parts. That our players have overachieved, despite losing the best player and top rebounder. It is a testament to the Wooden ideals, that a team is more than a superstar, and that you give your all irregardless of fan, media, or any outsider's opinion.

Win or lose, these kids have given their all. NEVER QUIT. This team deserves those four letters T.E.A.M. as much as the glorious UCLA in front of their jerseys. And their coach is the reason why.

So, let's cut the BS, the boneheaded Bruin "fan" BS, and enjoy the show. Win or lose, this team is one of the best examples of Coach Wooden's ideals of competitiveness, resilience, and teamwork as any Bruin team in years.

Go Bruins!!!

Yep, this team is 99% Alford's players.

And it doesn't surprise me at all that the players with the highest ceilings, in my eyes, are the ones brought in by Cronin, i.e. Clark, Etienne, and Juzang, both offensively and defensively.
