Wow, are players on Ucla being paid money on the side or what?

The game had 1.5 secs left, Ucla up by 8, stanford stands around after their final shot, already conceding the lost to Ucla. Next thing you know, you see darren collison, I think goes running full speed to the other side of the court for a catch and layup. Ucla covers as time expires by 2 on that meaningless play.

So why would they do that? Stat padding, rubbing it in. I mean they're aren't really any good reason for Ucla to put up any more points against a team that has already conceded the win to them, and they aren't dumb enough not know that stanford is not going to get an 8 point play in 1.5 seconds.

This exact same scenario also happened when they played Washington state early in the season, where they covered on a last tenth seconds of play that had no relevant in the final outcome the game. They were up by 7, with like 4 second left in that one. Something shady is going on in UCLA basketball and somebody's getting paid on the side their. You can fool me once, but not twice.

in the wash st game, they were up by 20 and state hit like 7 or 8 threes in a row

That was the first thing I thought of too when they scored with only 1.5 secs left. Stanford concedes and the idiot runs down the other end of the floor like a madman and lays it in as time expires. Plus didn't help that the game clock stopped for a while during each of the last 3 possessions.

Just quality handicapping by those that had some inside info on collisons desire to make lay ups with under a second left.

Yeah, it almost reminded me of that Christian lataener play when Duke played somebody in the finals, kentucky I think.

i think it was simply because stanford shot it and hit when ucla let up off of d...kinda like a smack in the face after ucla quit playing

Yeah, but they should just be happy that they were fortunate enough to get that phantom foul call at the end, make it to OT, and win a game that should have not won.

[Quebb Diesel]

true...lots of people on both sides of the fence tonight...i wonder how many people drank their lives away after the first half...are sobering up...and realized ucla ended up covering in OT?

Even though I lost because of that play, Mo's comment had me Well done, sir.
