That was the kind of 1H that only the players' mothers could luv.
Penn St fully earned their squishy rep (just awful shot selection), as UCLA's D suffocated them to only 23 pts in their own house.
UCLA is winning this game on the boards.............and how!
19-10, inclusive of 5 more O boards, with Jamerson making CMC smile from ear-to-ear. It's a huge game-lift since the vaunted UCLA O is shooting a vaunted 35% from the field (23% from the arc), against the 0-5 PSU-ers.
Another lift was Freeny with a where-did-this-come-from? 6 pts off the bench. He almost doubled the scoring of the entire PSU bench!
Perry continues to make strides in diversifying his O, which is a sight for sore eyes with Skyy on the shelf. Of all things, Trent is burning PSU with some scoring in the low blocks.
UCLA showed some nice intensity in the last 5 mins of the half and hopefully they can sustain it and close this one out. I'd say there's a good shot that will transpire, as aided by PSU's squishyness.
GO BRUINS!
