PROFILE

This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.

Shipp's circus shot

Josh Shipp made, in his words, a ``horse shot'' when he made an offbalance shot over the backboard for the game-winner with 1 second left against Cal.
What did you guys think?

I think we got away with a foul...

But that was a ridiculous shot by Shipp. I hope it's the shot that gets him out of his slump.

Yes we got away with one, but the officials all seemed screened off form seeing the foul. Shipp in a slum??????? Not when it counts.........

I don't think that was a foul.

I have been amazed over the decades, except for brief lapses, how SC football and ucla basketball seem to never be out of the game, and how magic is so often produced by these programs at the very end.

That said, if I were a westwood fan I would be real worried about the tournament games coming up, and having no viable outside threat. Miracles will run out.

As I was watching the last shot, I was wondering why the shot was not waved off...you can not shot from behind the glass and score...but that was not called either...any comments?????

doug4ucla: Scary. Once again we agree. As for the foul/no foul non-call, whoever the Bruin was who trapped from the sideline side, had his arm wrapped around Ryan Anderson (thus a hold). The other arm chopped down on Anderson's arm, thus another foul.
