OC-Ya later UCLA: College Baketball - The once proud Bruins fell to the true Titans of Southern California

ESPN's Midnight Madness commenced with UCLA hosting Cal Stat Fullerton on their aptly renamed Wooden Court (It is about time they honored the greatest coach in sporting history with all due respect to Red Auerbach).

But UCLA's dynasty status that they enjoyed under Wooden's tutelage is long vanished. Further evidence of that came as UCLA lost for the first to their adjacent county neighboor, Cal State Fullerton in double overtime, 68-65.

And CSUF fans came to represent the OC. Scores of students wearing OC/CSUF logo style shirts were in the rafters. Getting tickets for the game at Wooden Court was easy since the game was nowhere close to being sold out like Dukies' games at Coach K Court.

The OC fans jubilantly celebrated in their cheap seats, waiving goodbye to the once proud Bruins. It was the Titans first win against the Bruins in ten tries.
