Norman Powell scored 19 points in UCLA’s 60-59 win over SMU in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 64. It was the senior who broke UCLA out of an 8:40 scoring drought in the second half, hitting a layup with 4:16 on the clock.

He then assisted on Bryce Alford’s sixth and seventh 3-pointers, and finished with four assists, six rebounds, a block and a steal. He was responsible for nine of UCLA’ 14 free throw attempts, and was perfect at the line.

“We’re going to enjoy tonight,” Powell said. “Coach said we’re going to relax, have fun, and just enjoy this win. We have a day to prepare for (UAB in the next round). It’s getting focused on them the next morning.”

Too bad he had to take a final at the team hotel after the game.
