UCLA up 34-26 at halftime over Cal Poly

UCLA got off to a sluggish start but put together a nice run at the end to go up 24-28 over the Mustangs.

The Bruins are feeding the post with efficiency, and the results are evident: Joshua Smith has 11 points, Reeves Nelson 9 and Brendan Lane 7 at the half. Smith has been especially good at moving his body into the defender and putting the smaller post players on their heels.

UCLA’s on-ball defense was poor early, and Cal Poly guards accounted for 15 points, but the Bruins have turned it up over the last several minutes.
