UCLA’s Lorenzo Mata: In Pictures
The man-in-the-middle for the pre-game huddle.
Good form on his free throw shooting up to this point. But everything after this freeze frame could use a little work.
The man is a human Swiffer. He’s on the floor fully 50% of the time he’s in the game.
And, yet again, hitting the deck.

This guy in the suit folds and lays out the towels. Points off for the broken numerical order.
Lorenzo Mata is a fellow Bruin and South Gate High School alumni. We are very proud!
Man, he sure did a number on ‘SC today. 12 points and a whole assload of hustle plays.
Mata is a great player but he should represent South Gate instead of Huntington Park By the way
Robles is not the pride of South Gate. Mata and Glenn T. Seaborg, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, are the pride of South Gate.
My boy, big pimpin! http://www.bruinsnation.com/story/2006/12/18/102138/55
And let us not forget Pete Ellis Dodge
I wouldn’t say he’s THE pride of South Gate. He’s a pride of South Gate. Cypress Hill is another pride of the city. As is Former Mayor/Treasurer Albert Robles.
LoMata – the pride of South Gate!
nice photos!
mata faka
What’s the Mata?
Bruins. So hot right now.
Gotta love the somewhat uncoordinated effort. Could we someday see “Nostrils” screaming at dog-whistle pitch at a Championship Parade a la Mark Madsen (Lakers 2001)?
