UCLA Basketball season has begun !

Tonight, UCLA plays against BYU to start off the 2006-07 basketball season. Last year, UCLA made it to the championship game and are ready to dominate this year as they're ranked #6 in the nation.

Eddy and I went to the first preaseason game this year against our alma mater, Cal Poly Pomona! We were pretty pumped to see Cal Poly play, until we saw exactly how awful they were. UCLA played great, but only had their "A Team" on the court for about a quarter of the game. Here are some highlights:

Arron Afflalo with a breakaway dunk!


Josh Shipp, who was injured all last year, will be a critical player this year.


Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (best name ever) rejects Cal Poly at the rim. Fantastic.


Alright...I did manage to catch Cal Poly cutting in and scoring on the inside. Much better than their desperate attempts from the 3-point line.




Jordan Farmar (now with the Los Angeles Lakers) came to check out the game.


And my favorite memory from last year's NCAA tournament. UCLA upsetting Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 matchup. The best last 40 seconds ever. Complete with the breakdown of Adam Morrison.
