	I'm definitely not taking anything for granted because the Bruins seem to be winning in spite of themselves lately. Not intending to put too much credit in the RPI, but Texas A&M was 41st and Western Kentucky is a bit better at 39th (on the other hand, it sure would've been nice if San Diego had won, because they were 94th). So I'm still worried about Thursday's game. I know that I've been beating on Shipp for a couple of months now and I certainly didn't see anything last night to cause me to change my mind. I can understand Mbah a Moute being a bit rusty and at least Westbrook started to show some life at the end of the game. But I'm about to start a petition drive to have Shipp benched in favor of Keefe or even Lee at this point! The only silver lining about Josh's horrible performances over the past few months is that he's clearly killed his NBA draft value for this year and should return for another year if he wants to have any chance of being drafted in a respectable spot. And maybe he can learn how to shoot again during the offseason...

	One thing to remember about UCLA is that there are a lot of stars this year. Anyone can have a big game on any given night. Remember, 2 years ago, Luc was the star at the beginning of March Madness, but it didn't turn out that way in the end. Shipp will step up when it counts, and that is what matters most.

	I wouldn't put too much credit on RPI. But if you wanted to gauge on it, we did beat #14, #16, #23, #28, #35, and #37 during the season. The updated RPI as of March 24, 2008, put Western Kentucky at #120 due to all the upset in the Tourney and NIT. This is a Sweet 16 game and we could throw all those RPI thing out of the window. Bottom line is that we need to show up for the game and not treating the Hilltoppers lightly. The last time Coach Howland lost to Non-Major Conference opponent was against UCSB on December 17, 2003 during his first season. At this point of the post season, Coach Howland will have a defense to match against Western Kentucky. We just have too many talents and athletic players in this team.

	Check this CBS Sports edge link here It indicated that Courtney Lee/Tyrone Brazelton are better than Darren Collison/Russell Westbrook. That must be misprinted, right? Just because Courtney Lee can scores tons of points in the Sun Belt conference that does not mean he can at will against Darren Collison. Tyrone Brazelton is shooting .408 from beyond the arc but he will be guarded by Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year. What about the other way around? Can Lee and Brazelton guard Collison/Westbrook?

	We heard the first cry already here in the West Coast. WK staff wasn't thrilled about the travel arrangement having to play in Tampa on Sunday then fly to Phoenix today.
