Guru attemj By KEVIN ADAMS Sports editor It was a horrible, horrible week. I missed so many games last week that I won't even bore you with the details. Instead, I'll just give you the high. . ? er, lowlights. Lowest of the low was Arizona over the University of California Los Angeles. Horrible, just horrible. I didn't want to pick that game, I really didn't. Honest. But my assistant, Chris Silvestri, said he had a strong, almost overwhelming, feeling that Arizona was going to win and begged me to pick a Bruin loss. Of course, I refused. Silvestri immediately went into a violent, uncon trollable temper tantrum (you know how freshmen are) and threatened to jump off the third floor of the Russell House unless I picked an Arizona win as my upset special. Of course, I felt it was my duty as a sports editor and as a responsible citizen to appease him and prevent this unnecessary loss of life. I hope you're happy, Chris. OK, OK, so maybe it didn't happen exactly that way, but it was still a good excuse, don't you think? I also missed my second upset special (Houston over Arkansas) and all four of those fickle Atlantic Coast Conference games. The official record last week was 11-8 (a meager .579 percentage). That dropped the season record to 91-25 (.786) Horrible, just horrible. WASHINGTON STATE AT NO. 1 UCLA: I don't care what Silvestri does, I'm picking the Bruins. . . UCLA, 38-28.
