3/8/08Attendance: 11,614California took it to UCLA (No. 2 ESPN/USA Today, No. 3 AP) for 38 minutes and 17 seconds Saturday. The Bruins escaped with a shot worthy of highlight reels for years to come.Josh Shipp hit a rainbow jumper from behind the backboard with 1.5 seconds remaining to help rally UCLA from an 11-point deficit to an 81-80 victory, the Bruins' second close call in as many games.UCLA's school-record 28th regular-season victory was in jeopardy until the very end. The Bruins trailed by four points with 31 seconds remaining, then freshman Kevin Love hit a 3-pointer off an inbounds pass from Darren Collison to make it 80-79.Cal's Ryan Anderson was stripped of the ball in the left corner by Russell Westbrook. A stunned Anderson got up and looked at the referees, expecting a foul call."They clearly tackled me, maybe hit me and I fell to the ground looking for the foul and it didn't go our way," he said. "But that's UCLA, number [three] in the country and they're going to get respect. That's just frustrating, really frustrating."The Bruins eventually got it to Shipp, who was falling out of bounds when he put up a one-handed floater along the right baseline."Lucky I play H-O-R-S-E," Shipp said, referring to the can-you-top-this driveway game. "It was definitely a desperation shot. I've never seen anything like that. It's one of those movie shots, it was like a dream."The call against Anderson was more like a nightmare for coach Ben Braun and the Golden Bears."I feel bad for our guys," he said. "Anderson was fouled, but they didn't call it. No way that should have happened. The call should have been made. Our players should have won that game."

Also want to say, Texas beat UCLA, beat KU. But KU then beat texas. UCLA lost to Washington and USC too huh? One didnt make the tournament, the other lost in the first round. UCLA got away with a no call against A&M, they got alot of those, shouldve lost against Cal and stanford. UCLA wouldnt of even been a one seed this year. 3 times KU had to take advantage of something and they made the big shots down the stretch, thats the difference between a 15 pt loser and a national champion.

Correction, the game might be tied, but it might not even BE tied, the right fielder is going to back it up.

Lets look at KU's losses. Texas- GREAT team. Oklahoma St.- Underrated, they were a TOUGH team, Texas had trouble with em. and KState- a tournament team with great inside presence, Beasley had a great game. UCLA had more losses than KU i think too. And if you think about it, in the OT. KU absolutely outplayed Memphis. Outplayed them on the inside. What if they hit 3s like they did all season? maybe it wouldnt have been so close.
xxcheerysunburstxx (July 17, 2008 at 7:59 pm)
LOL. The game was not GIVEN to them. They had to TAKE the game. They took ADVANTAGE of missed free throws, ALOT Of teams can't do that, like KU last year against UCLA they couldnt take advantage of the chances they had. Please I could say UCLA had a bunch of lucky breaks that put away KU last year. Darren Collisons fade away 3? that pretty much finished the KU run. Luck is part of the game.

You're never the same team from the year before. Teams change. Kansas lost Wright. they shouldve lost, but no they went 37-3. Big 12 was better than Pac-10 this year. And please what a bullshit comparison, all 3 runners arent going to score, learn some baseball to, guarantee the right fielder will be on it and chuck it in to stop all 3 lol...

By all accounts, the game should have been over but was given away because the pitcher screwed it up. That's why Kansas is the winner and not Memphis. It was given to them, like it or not. Deal with it.

You responded to a comment I made 4 months ago before they even played? What kinda dumb sh*t is that? That was the same Kansas team UCLA beat the year before. Memphis did beat Kansas, Memphis just blew it on the free throw line and Kansas reaped the reward. Like in baseball bases loaded, with 2 out and the team on defense is up 3-1 and the batter hits roller to the pitcher and the pitcher throws it into right field over the first baseman's head and all 3 runners score and they lose 4-3.

Why did you reply to my comment? I never said it wasn't a foul, I made a comment about the ball going over the corner of the backboard.
xxcheerysunburstxx (July 16, 2008 at 2:47 am)
I don't think so buddy. The inbound was a clear foul. THey were fucking on top of him. Don't give me bs.
xxcheerysunburstxx (July 16, 2008 at 2:41 am)
Umm when you win the championship your the best team for that year. So they were better than them this year. Memphis beat UCLA by 15.KU beat Memphis and they have the SAME TYPE OF GAME. Same thing would of happened.
