Momentum change
Western Kentucky coach Darrin Horn said a big turning point was when A.J. Slaughter missed a 3-pointer with the Hilltoppers down 63-59, and UCLA's James Keefe then made two free throws before Josh Shipp hit a 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down.
"Huge, huge,'' Horn said. "That, in a nutshell, was the game. It changed all the momentum. If it goes to one, everything is on our side, going our way. They're playing without (Darren) Collison at that point. I thought that was the sequence of the game in the second half."
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.
