The game is UCLA @ Stanford and it’s on tonight @ 10:30 p.m. (ET) on Fox. Sports. Net.—it should be pretty good. What’s the storyline that might come from the game? It could be Brook Lopez outplaying Kevin Love, so look for that. See, Lopez is extremely quick (while Love isn’t) and has a lot of stamina (which Love doesn’t), while also having longer range than the UCLA freshman. Maybe Love shows up and really out-muscles the stud Stanford sophomore…we’ll see. But I’d expect the Bruins to look to their guards more and more as the game wears on.

In case you hadn’t been keeping up, Darren Collison is back for UCLA, and they’re pretty healthy. In fact, both teams are, so hopefully we can get some of that quality Pac-10 ball that we’ve been hearing about for the past couple of months. It’s the biggest West Coast showdown this side of Gonzaga/Washington State, and I can only hope Marques Johnson (the most underrate enthusiastic broadcaster out there) is calling the game.
