Love is a Many Splendored Fellow

All I can say is thank goodness for Kevin Love:

After a slow start, Love sparks a second-half surge in a 76-57 victory over the Musketeers and finishes with 19 points and 10 rebounds. ... The Bruins defeated Xavier, 76-57, today at U.S. Airways Center in the West Regional final, meaning UCLA is headed back to the Final Four for the third consecutive season.

All thorugh the tournament, we’ve gotten hot at just the right moment. Which is what teams of destiny do.

Unfortunately, UNC advanced too. As an old Wahoo, there are two teams I hate: Duke and UNC. But especially UNC because they were our chief nemesis when I was in school. Running their cowardly four corners offense they frustrated us time and again. So I’d love to see my adopted Bruins face the Tar Heels in the Final and crush them.
