First-round notes

Here's a few notes from UCLA's 70-29 opening round win against Mississippi Valley State:

*UCLA's 13 blocks equaled the most in a first- or second-round NCAA Tournament game, and was one shy of Kentucky's 1998 record, set in the regional final.
*UCLA's 41-point win was the widest margin of victory in the NCAAs since beating Wyoming 109-60 in 1967.
*The 29 points equaled the fifth fewest in NCAA Tournament play, and was the lowest in the shot clock era. It is the lowest total since Baylor scored 29 in a 1946 loss to Oklahoma State.
*MVSU's 19.7 percent field goal percentage was the fifth lowest in NCAA Tournament history, and lowest since North Carolina State shot 19.5 percent in a third round game against Baylor in 1950.
