Will the “Jewbilation” last 8 days? With the Catholics coming to town on Saturday? UCLA hosts hated former rival Notre Dame this weekend, renewing a rivalry that conjures up images of Austin Carr, Kelly Tripucka, Bill Laimbeer, and “the devil himself” (as Bill Walton calls him) Digger Phelps. And the Bruins continued to develop some good momentum to take them into that contest, after following up a luau-like feasting on Hawaii with a safari-like trophy hunt of the Lions of Jesuit College Loyola Marymount.
This skinning of the Lions was never close, with UCLA taking control early and cruising with a double-digit lead for almost the entire game.
