UCLA head coach Cori Close speaks after lopsided win over UC Irvine

The No. 11 UCLA Bruins are 2-0 after a pair of victories over mid-major conference teams. On Thursday, Cori Close and the Bruins cruised to a 78-42 win over UC Irvine at Pauley Pavilion. It was a step in the right direction for a new-look UCLA team that will be looking to stay atop the Big Ten Conference after two seasons of dominance. Following the 36-point win, Close spoke to the media and sounded a bit more pleased with her team’s showing than she was following the season opener . “When I was with you after the first game, all I was doing was talking about defense, defense, defense and we really needed to gain consistency in that. I thought we weren’t as consistent as I wanted but I thought we made steps in the right direction,” Close said. “Irvine is a really well-coached team, they run tough stuff, our bigs still have to chase around people all the time.” The UCLA defense looked quite strong against the Anteaters, holding Irvine scoreless in the fourth quarter of the lopsided win. There are so many new pieces on the UCLA roster but the team still has the talent level to make

Picking Week 10 of college football in the Big Ten

Week 10 of the college football season is officially here! And while USC is off this week , there are plenty of other exciting Big Ten games on the schedule. So what can we expect to see in the league this week? Here are my Big Ten picks for Week 10: Illinois over Nebraska (Friday) The Huskers are probably the better team, but they will inevitably find a way to blow it yet again. UCLA over Minnesota USC has the 9-0. UCLA has a 9-0 football team. Purdue over Maryland Purdue is bad. Maryland is worse. Ohio State over Oregon Only elite West Coast teams are capable of beating the Buckeyes. Penn State over Washington Both of these teams have been extremely disappointing this year. This week, the disappointment continues in Seattle. Wisconsin over Rutgers Wisconsin bounces back from last week's ugly loss to Iowa. Northwestern over Iowa Speaking of Iowa, the Hawkeyes go down in Evanston. Michigan over Michigan State Expect another piss-poor performance from the Spartans.

Culver City Eyes Space Beneath Metro Tracks for Pickleball Park

CULVER CITY - The space beneath Metro's elevated E Line could become a new place to play pickleball, and residents will get a chance Nov. 10 to help shape the proposed park. Culver City is exploring an Expo Line Pickleball Park near Wesley Street and National Boulevard, adding another potential location for a sport the city has been accommodating on shared courts. The City Council has allocated $100,000 for the park's design concept. A September staff report described the project as being in its early planning stages, with staff researching grants for design and construction. The Nov. 10 community meeting will give residents an opportunity to help refine the proposal. It runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Syd Kronenthal Park Building, 3459 McManus Ave. Free parking will be available. The Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department is inviting nearby businesses and commuters to participate alongside residents and park users. The proposal comes as Culver City works to create more playing space while preserving access for paddle tennis players. In June, the city outlined a plan to share courts at several parks . Culver West Alexander Park would remain the main shared location, while courts at Elenda Street and
