Lathen Scott with an oppurtunity of a lifetime (College Hoops 2k8)

[VandyRedskins21]

#1 UCLA PROVED THAT THEY ARE JUST THAT... #1

(I know it's Darren Collison but hey it's a UCLA, UC Davis game )

"Well on the bright side we held them to under 100." said Lathen Scott after the game, "We came out strong in the first half and we were within striking distance all the way up to halftime. But after that UCLA just couldn't miss and we just couldn't hit." At halftime UCLA was only up 41-35 against the pesky Aggies.But once the second half started UCLA started playing like the best country in the team scoring 56 points in the second half. After throwing up many desperation 3s in the final 4 minutes of the game UCLA blew out UC Davis, 97-76. "The stats are decieving this game, we shot 30 3s but about 8 of them came late when we were down 20 and trying anything we could to come back." said Coach Scott defending his team against a particularly agitating reporter, "Hey this is one of the best teams in the country and for us to hang with them for about 30 minutes of the game is a huge accomplishment no matter what any of y'all say."

IT'S GOING TO BE A VERRRRRRRRRY LONG BUS RIDE BACK TO LOUISIANA




UC Davis is looking for a big win after getting absolutely blown out against the best team in the country and Southeastern Louisiana is a very vunerable opponent. "We started off strong against them and just never looked back" said Mike Kurtz who grabbed his 4th double double of the season, "We definitely had a size advantage and used that to our advantage." "They suck." said Lathen Scott afterwards, "They are OK at shooting, play terrible D, they are slow, no size, the coach is eh, they are just bad. Why did we schedule them again?" Those are some harsh words especially since they only won 82-69. True, UC Davis had the game wrapped up from tipoff but they definitely stopped playing with about 5 minutes left and let SELA back in it but hey a win is a win.

UC DAVIS STARTS CONFERENCE OFF WITH A BANG




UC Davis opened up their conference season with a bang agianst UC Riverside. "I am not going to judge this Aggies team by that one game because honestly UC Riverside is not the best in the conference, on the contrary they will probably end up near the bottom." said a cocky coach Scott after the game, "We just started off strong from the get go and we just rolled with it." UC Davis would lead for the whole game except for one possession and would win 87-64.

NOTES:

• Joe Harden got injured so he was limited in time. He will be healthy by the next game.
• I am getting close to get the sliders I want but I'm not fully there, I just need to do a little bit more tweaking.

RECRUITING TWIST AT UC DAVIS CLOSES THE DOOR ON 3 JC RECRUITS

"I cannot believe that this sort of thing would happen especially in my first year as a head coach" opened Lathen Scott on an unexpected press conference, "Basically, some boosters at UC Davis offered Don Montague, Laurynas McClurkin, and Errick Archibald X amount of money. McClurkin was the first to come to me and tell me what was going on and short after the other two informed me of the situation. Whether or not the recruits actually accepted the money is still in question but I have made the decision to rescind all 3 scholarship offers before this gets out of hand. I feel terrible that this happened especially with these guys because they have really shown excitement to coming and a positive attitude."
Later asst. coach Taurance Conley had this to add, "Don't expect Lathen to be going after any Juco recruits anytime soon if ever. He is probably the most superstitious person I know."

(Basically I made a house rule not to recruit Juco recruits because it was too easy to get 3*)
