Swimming to host San Diego

On Saturday, the UCLA swimming and diving team will face the
University of San Diego. The meet will take place at the Sunset
Recreation Center at noon.

The undefeated No. 12 Bruins (2-0, 1-0 Pac-10) are also sending
some members of the diving team to the USC Trojan Invitational,
starting today.

Could have been champs, but no

The University of Michigan punished its basketball program
Thursday because of the Ed Martin booster scandal. The team
forfeited all games played with the involved players ““ Chris
Webber, Robert Traylor, Maurice Taylor and Louis Bullock.

The Wolverines will also be unable to participate in the 2003
NCAA or NIT championships.

UCLA plays Michigan on Dec. 28, but it may not even matter for
the Wolverines.

The real controversy lies in a game between the two teams
several years ago.

UCLA was 7-1 all-time against Michigan, with the one loss in the
1993 NCAA Tournament.

The 86-84 loss came in overtime in the second round. The No. 3
Wolverines went on to lose the championship game when Chris Webber
made his infamous bonehead timeout although his team had none.

The loss is now a victory, making UCLA’s all-time record
against Michigan 8-0.

Abdul-Jabbar makes Pac-10 Hall of Fame

Kareem Abdul Jabbar was among the 10 inductees to the Pac-10
Hall of Fame.

Abdul-Jabbar, known as Lew Alcindor during his Bruin days
(1967-1969), led the team to three national championships.

He later went on to play in the NBA for 20 years, where he
earned six MVP honors, as well as numerous NBA titles.
