Show me Your Beaver!

In case you missed it, we had a scale game at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday afternoon. The UCLA Bruins recorded their 17th straight home win crushing Oregon State 82-35. A siren went off for me when the Bruins were ahead at the half by a cool 30, 48-18, thanks to a 70% shooting performance. The special night was confirmed when James Keefe made a permanent indent on the lineup at the 13:13 mark in the 2nd half. The game was such a blowout that all of the 15 players on the UCLA roster saw action.

The best comments came from Oregon State coach Jay John after the game,

We were exposed in every possible way. We all go through this outcome every once in a while. It is a risk you take when you come into Pauley. In early December, we watched a very good University of Michigan team come in here and not look very good. UCLA can do that to anybody they play. Tonight it was us.

More details on the game coming straight from virtuoso sports information director Ryan Finney, the 35 points allowed by the Bruins tied the fewest points UCLA ever allowed in Pauley Pavilion (in 1966 they beat Oregon St. 79-35).

The last time I saw a beating this bad someone stuck a banana down my pants and let the monkey loose. Can you say the Bruins are ready for the tournament?
