Texas A&M 29, UCLA 26 halftime
UCLA made just one field goal in the final 9:39 of the first half. Darren Collison and Kevin Love are shooting the ball well, but for some reason, the Bruins stopped going to them midway through the first half. Also, the Bruins have eight turnovers in the first half. Collison has made all four of his 3-pointers.
The other three starters - Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Russell Westbrook and Josh Shipp - are a combined 0-for-11.
The Bruins have some work to do if they're to make the Sweet 16.
Texas A&M guard Donald Sloan is driving and scoring. He hit three consecutive shots, the second of which gave the Aggies a 25-24 lead. Sloan drove and got one to fall over the outstretched arms of Love. He hit a jumper with 1:19 left to give the Aggies a 27-24 lead.
The ball hit the top of the backboard and is not out of bounds? Explain that one to me. Then what is the big deal about Josh's shot?
Josh Shipp's missed shots are like turn over. He should slash to the basket instead of relying om his shooting. The last half of the season he hasn't really been making either 3 pointers or those mid-range.
