Luc declares for NBA Draft

It’s official — Luc Richard Mbah a Moute has declared for the NBA Draft. He hasn’t hired an agent, so he might come back.

If he doesn’t come back, I’ll remember him for being a part of that epic comeback against Gonzaga, among many great things he did as a Bruin.

The 22-inning marathon

As I was getting ready to go to sleep, I turned on my radio and found to my surprise that there was baseball being played. I’m not an early bird — this was after midnight. (And I’m on the West Coast — sporting events never end this late here, ever).

The Padres and Rockies played 22 innings last night before Colorado finally won 2-1. The game ended at 1:21 PT (Game time 6 hours, 16 minutes). I only listened to a couple of innings before I fell asleep, but I couldn’t imagine what that game must have been like for Padre fans, either at Petco or watching on TV — they spent all that time invested in the game, and their team lost.

Since I didn’t see the game for myself, here’s some very interesting live blogs and game threads from Mark Townsend (my colleague at Bugs & Cranks), Ducksnorts (a great Padres blog) and two from Purple Row (a great Rockies blog). Fans from both of those teams stayed up for all 22 innings, and that is very impressive.

Love and Westbrook declare for NBA Draft

It’s official now. Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook have declared for the NBA Draft.

Both haven’t hired an agent yet, but I highly doubt they’ll be coming back to UCLA — both are easily talented enough to be taken in the first round.

Both Love and Westbrook played admirably at UCLA, always looked like they were giving it their all and gave us many great, fun memories.

Gutty Little Bruins and Bruins Nation already have tributes up to Kevin Love. So I’ll instead put up two videos of Russell Westbrook dunking.

After it was reported earlier int the day that Luc Richard Mbah a Moute would be announcing he was declaring for the NBA Draft, he instead postponed his decision, and Darren Collison is still thinking about his.
