Print4 seed Arizona (16-14, 10-8) vs. 5 seed UCLA (13-17, 8-10)

The best quarter-final game in terms of match-up and intrigue is also the first (good job, Pac-10 schedulers). Two teams that expect to be playing deep into March each year will now need to win the entire tournament to do so. Can Ben Howland orchestrate a stunning turnaround? Can Derrick Williams lead Arizona to their 26th straight NCAA tournament appearance? It starts today.
What to watch: Two members of the Pac-10 All-Freshman team go at it down low when Reeves Nelson and Derrick Williams tangle. Nelson is returning from an eye injury and how he fares against Williams will probably decide the outcome of this game. This also may be your last chance to see Nic Wise, Nikola Dragovic and Michael Roll play Pac-10 basketball. I'll let you decide if that makes you happy or sad.

Popquiz hotshot....
You’re in an elevator with Roll and Drago… you only have time to punch one of them in the face… what do you do? what do you do?
I’d punch Roll. Drag would probably try to retaliate, but swing, miss, hit Roll, and then draw an intentional foul as the elevator door opens.

Roll
His arrogance is beyond annoying. Anyone else as mediocre as he is would be embarrassed to strut around like such a complete jerk. But then again, he is a bruin.
Whose Axe?
OUR AXE!
Easiest. Poll question. Ever.
Yet, after 24 votes, 11 voters have gotten it wrong. It’s the third answer. THE THIRD ANSWER IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE CORRECT ONE!
I am a Vereenian.
Actually
I voted “2” because there is nothing that would make me feel better than beating Ucla again. Except making their fans cry. And since they are bruin fans, they cry pretty easily.
Whose Axe?
OUR AXE!
Anyone have a link for this game?

Offensive ineptitude by both teams FTL

Its kind of incredible that UCLA isn't up by about 20
To look at the stats but they are that bad.
