Hold the Mayo
Here is the game story I wrote from UCLA's win against USC.
On O.J. Mayo's 3-point attempt to tie the game at the buzzer, Josh Shipp was guarding USC's leading scorer after a switch with Russell Westbrook. The Trojans got the ball with 23.9 seconds remaining and trailing by three points, but decided the best thing to do was have Mayo dribble the clock down, then attempt a final shot.
"I definitely thought he was going to go a lot sooner, but they didn't have a second chance to get a shot off because of that," Shipp said. "It was definitely surprising."
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
