Jackie Robinson Stadium is in Westwood — AKA, in Los Angeles.
And yet, it is the coldest stadium in the country.

My first beat at the @dailybruin was covering @UCLAWBB back during the 2017-18 season. I covered the team on-and-off for the next six years.
So satisfying to see this program win its first NCAA championship, a real full-circle moment.

Does Mick Cronin deserve criticism for not being able to retain Aday Mara? To some extent, sure – hard to know exactly what happened BTS in the portal era, but it was certainly a devastating loss.
But criticizing Cronin’s use of Mara on the court? THAT is revisionist history.
Apr 5
Aday Mara had 10, 6 and 5 in 20 minutes of play in the NCAA Tournament last year.
The talent was always there, and anyone trying to claim there's some weird revisionist history on Aday Mara is an idiot.
UCLA misused him. Period.

This is not an accurate representation of Aday Mara’s time at UCLA.

Never forget: Mick Cronin couldn't figure out how to use Aday Mara.
Make it make sense.

UCLA men’s basketball ranks No. 5 in @totally_t_bomb’s Power Rating since February 18.
Still absolutely bonkers to see that adjusted offense/defense split for a Mick Cronin team, no matter how many times he tells us exactly who and what this team is.

The women had to play the full Big 12 tournament on this monstrosity, but suddenly it’s a safety concern now that the men are complaining about it?

NEWS: The Big 12 will be transitioning to a hardwood court for the remainder of the Big 12 tournament. The LED glass basketball court has been greeted with mixed reviews, including feedback that it is slippery.

At home this season, @UCLAMBB:
won 17 games
never lost in regulation
beat 3 AP Top 10 opponents
The only other team in the last 40 years to do that at home in a season was the 2011-12 Kentucky squad that won the national title.

If this actually happened, I think roughly 45% of UCLA’s fanbase would need to be admitted to an insane asylum…

I understand why UCLA fought to stay in Jackie Robinson Stadium this season, but it is genuinely hilarious how inconvenient of a venue it is for students, alumni, visiting fans, etc.
As great as an on-campus football stadium would be, maybe a new baseball park is more realistic.
Well the No. 1 baseball team in the nation has no on site parking. Considering they almost took away their site, this isn’t bad.

This doesn’t guarantee anything, but…
Based on what Casey Wasserman told me when I interviewed him last April, designating the WBC as an Olympic qualifier was a major step towards getting MLB players allowed in the Olympics.
