“Bill Frisell Trio featuring Tony Scherr and Kenny Wollesen”
Saturday, 8 p.m.
Royce Hall
Though silent films have been traditionally accompanied by organ, the Bill Frisell Trio added a modern take to them by adding a jazzy soundtrack to two Buster Keaton films, a Bill Morrison film and Jim Woodring’s animations on Saturday at 8 p.m in Royce Hall.
A man allegedly broke into an inhabited apartment on the 500 block of Landfair Avenue early Sunday morning and stole a wallet and purse.
Nikki Caldwell has agreed to become the women’s basketball coach at Louisiana State, the school announced Saturday. LSU will hold a 2 p.m. news conference Monday to introduce Caldwell, who coached at UCLA for the last three seasons.
Caldwell will be making a return to the Southeastern Conference, a league she knows all too well. Caldwell starred at SEC powerhouse Tennessee from 1991 to 1994 as a player and returned to the school as an assistant coach under Pat Summitt.
UCLA gave Caldwell her first head-coaching gig in 2008 by signing her to a five-year deal worth $295,000 per year. In three seasons, Caldwell turned the program around. Before her arrival, UCLA had one NCAA Tournament win; Caldwell led the Bruins to two wins.
“UCLA is a special place in so many ways,” Caldwell said in a statement released by UCLA. “I will forever be indebted for the opportunities that UCLA has afforded me. Dan Guerrero is one of the elite athletic directors and it has been a privilege and an honor to work with this administration. They did all they could to keep me at UCLA and I appreciate those efforts.
After undergoing surgery on his broken left ankle, rising redshirt junior offensive tackle Jeff Baca has been ruled out for returning to spring practice.
Coach Rick Neuheisel said he was hopeful to get Baca back when the team begins fall camp in August.
“I’m sure there’ll be a ‘nursing him back to health’ portion of that, so I don’t know how much of the two-a-day stuff he’ll do,” Neuheisel said Saturday of Baca’s rehabilitation. “But if we could have him full speed in September that would be terrific.”
A man broke into an empty dorm room in a Hedrick Summit suite early Saturday morning, university police said.
One of the residents of the suite, a housing structure in which five rooms share one bathroom and a common area, was exiting the bathroom when she heard rustling coming from a room that she knew was supposed to be vacant for the weekend, said UCPD sergeant Miguel Banuelos.
She called out and opened the door around 12:40 a.m. to find the alleged suspect hiding under the bed, Banuelos said. She screamed, and another resident came and saw the man also.
The suspect is described as a black man, about 6 feet tall, 160 pounds and around 25 years old with short black hair. He was wearing a brown corduroy jacket and a white T-shirt, Banuelos said.
The Los Angeles Times reported late Monday night that UCLA junior forward Malcolm Lee will become the second Bruin this year to declare for the NBA draft.
But, according to the report, Lee will not hire an agent, which will preserve his college eligibility.
Should Lee declare without hiring an agent, he would have until May 8 to withdraw from the draft process and return for his senior year.
