Basketball Kaleidoscope II: Fourth again
UCLA moved up to fourth (from sixth) in the Associated Press (writer’s) poll today, with Tennessee and Memphis ranked 1-2 and North Carolina third. Also:
>> The roster for the Jordan Classic, a high school all-star game to be played April 19 at 7 p.m. (Eastern time) at Madison Square Garden and televised by ESPN2, contained some familiar names for Bruin fans. Guards Jrue Holiday from North Hollywood Campbell Hall and Malcolm Lee from Riverside J.W. North and power forward Drew Gordon of San Jose Archbishop Mitty -– all of whom have signed letters of intent to attend UCLA in the fall –- were selected.
>> The special white-and-pink jerseys worn by UCLA for its "Think Pink" Week game against Washington at Pauley Pavilion on Feb. 10 were auctioned online after the game and raised $5,062.60. All of it will be donated to the Revlon/UCLA Breast Center to further breast cancer research. The highest single bid was $660 for Erica Tukiainen’s No. 13 UCLA jersey.
