UCSB Uses Trojans

Saturday the UCSB men’s club lacrosse team ran conference whipping USC right out of Isla Vista with a 13-6 rout.

NBA All-Star Edition

East vs. West:

East:
Unlike the West, the East has several players ready to show their stuff as first-time selections.

West:

Kobe is the only dude in the league who absolutely refuses to lose, and he’s going to be the only one even playing ball. I’m taking the West.
