That kind of girl
Messing with a basketball player’s head
Also during the game, we heard the Bench chanting “Victoria” whenever Gabe Pruitt of U$C took the free throw line or had the ball. We also saw Rally Comm hold up some phone number of (323) xxx-xxxx. We didn’t know what this meant…but I later found out the story. I have to say…I wish we did this when I was on the Bench.Turns out some students posed as a UCLA co-ed named Victoria. Chatted on IM with him and basically “seduced” him with some fake pictures and made him promise that he’d show up at UCLA after they got back from the Bay Area for a “date”. But of course to work this out, they needed his phone number. BAM. They kept chatting just to keep it going over the next few days. And when Gabe Pruitt took the line for his first free throws, the Bench began “Victoria, Victoria…” Apparently he turned, and gave the Bench the most embarrassed look anyone could give. He also then missed his free throws. The crowd was on him all game…and it was a bad one for him.
For those not from Cal, Wikipedia says that The Bench is a reference to the courtside student section at Haas Pavilion.
Harassing opposing players is one of the best traditions in college basketball. Glad to see creativity not from Dookies.
