Definitely a little cruel, some Cal students pretending to be a UCLA co-ed on instant messenger get USC point guard Gabe Pruitt’s phone number and set up a date for after the game. The best part may be that they reveal the prank to him while he’s at the free throw line:
When USC guard Gabe Pruitt took his first trip to the free throw line early in the game, the Cal student section hollered in unison: “VIC-TOR-IA, VIC-TOR-IA,” and then yelled out a telephone number. Pruitt glanced back at the crowd in horror and bewilderment before clanking his free throws.
It turns out that a couple of mischeivous little bastards from the Cal student section had been IM’ing with Pruitt all week under the identity of “Victoria,” a fictional UCLA hottie, and Pruitt was eagerly anticipating a date with this nubile co-ed back in Westwood after the game. In preparation for the date, Pruitt had handed over his digits, which the Cal student section recited back to him in unison.
Ouch.

That is one involved prank.
Amazing that they were able to get a chant going and recite the phone number all while he was at the free throw line.
