Not a lot to analyze, when UCLA is hooping against another walkover. Riverside is a 6-8 mid-major who came into this game as a 24-pt road dog and, ummmm, heaven (not to mention KenPom) help me!, as another atrocity on D (264th out of 361 Div 1 teams in Total Defense).
Turning to the UCLA colossus on O, I gotta agree with Donny Mac (which isn't often easy to do), that Jamar Brown can be a real contributor on this team as we enter B10 play. I thought he played an outstanding *floor* game on both ends in the 1H.
I also thought UCLA was very effective in making Riverside cry in the 1H, as it looked for a while that they wouldn't hit the 30 pt mark in the 1H.
I'm not going to regurgitate the box score against a walkover team as anyone can just read it and see Dent & Skyy were AWOL on O. Will be gripping to see our O colossus dominate in the upcoming 18 B!0 games.
GO BRUINS!
