UCLA up 28-12 early

The Bruins have jumped out to a 28-12 lead at Oregon State, and it appears that Lazeric Jones is shaking off the ill-effects of a ruptured tendon in his right middle finger.

Jones has seven early points on 3-of-4 shooting while Malcolm Lee has six on 3-of-7 shooting.

Brendan Lane started in place of Joshua Smith; we’ll find out later if it was a consequence from his public reprimand from the Pac-10 after his officiating comments.

I’m watching the game from Los Angeles as Jill Painter is up in Oregon; unfortunately, USC’s late start dictated that she be at USC vs. Oregon, though she’ll be at UCLA v. Oregon on Saturday.

I’ll be following along here and on Twitter and the Inside UCLA Facebook page.
