On how C.J. Wilcox was able to get his shots:
BH: “The first play of the second half, we were helping off the roll off and we were just late getting back to him and it was a nice pass from (Isaiah) Thomas. The second one, we didn’t go with the body, Zeek tried to go underneath the screen, and he was able to get separation that way. He made a really big shot where he got fouled that was at the end of the shot clock. A possession where we made the mistake of not switching the dribble handoff. Reaching for the ball instead of getting our hands up. One time in transition we closed out short instead of making him shoot. We made a bunch of mental errors. The one he got open in the left area was really disappointing. We had two guys guarding the same guy. It really was not good.”

On second-guessing his use of timeouts:
BH: “Two of our timeouts were timeouts that I didn’t really want to use. One was an out-of-bounds play we didnt execute. Smartly Jerime used that. End of first half, I had to use one to get Reeves (Nelson) out of game. I burned that one, which I second-guess a little bit. I should’ve just forced him to play through it. There’s always second-guessing when you lose. That’s every time.”

On Jerime Anderson:
BH: “I’ve already had a lot of confidence in him. I was pleased with how he shot the ball. His threes were really timely and big for us. We really had a great shot at them, a four-point lead a couple times.”

On turnovers:
BH: “We had too many turnovers. Some of them were definitely forced, but some were sped up, and that’s just too many. You can’t win on the road against a very good team typically if you have 18 turnovers. I was really pleased with our effort on the defensive end. First half was our best half of the year.”

On his drug policy with his players:
BH: “They know that at UCLA, we have a strict drug policy. There’s testing. We have constant drug testing going on within the athletic department. It’s something the players are all aware of. All the athletes at UCLA, for that matter.
