  5. Career Game #424 Dec 20, 2012: UNLV (6-4) @ #3 UCLA (10-0) Scouting Report Offense: slow pace, heavy outside, 5 outDefense: m2m, presses on occasionKey Players: Sr PG Dexter McConnell 17.0 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 4.9 apgNotes: McConnell has made 17 3s in their last 2 games 1st Half Great defense, limiting UNLV to just 7 made FGs. It would have been almost a perfect 1st half, except for the head-scratching numbers we had. Halftime: Up 35-18 Key stat(s) FG: UCLA 62%, UNLV 18%TOs: UCLA 13, UNLV 7Key Players UCLA: C Aaron Lappas 13 pts, 4 rebs 2nd Half We suddenly don't look like a team that has won 10 straight games. We're missing a lot shots, and continue to turn the ball over. Our lead was cut down to 10 earlier, before we scored the last 4 pts 11:45, Up 43-29 It was just a 12pt lead with 6 mins remaining. Everyone, except C Aaron Lappas, was sluggish on offense. We went on a small 6-0 run to lead by 18, and that removed any hopes on UNLV making a major comeback Final Score: UNLV - 51, UCLA - 68 Box Scores Lappas 24, 7, 4, 2 stls, 3 blks (*)Burton 11, 6, 1Lucas 10, 4, 0Pettway 7, 4, 3, 6 tosJones 4, 4, 0Smith 4, 2, 0McCutcheon 4, 0, 0Walton 2, 5, 3Tucker 2, 3, 0, 3 tosFuhs 0, 5, 2, 2 stlsCotton 0, 0, 2, 5 tosHolliway 0, 0, 0 Team Stats FG: 57-27% Rebs: +8 TOs: +6 Pts in paint: +30 2nd chance: +2 Fast break: +2 Post game observations (-): Just so happened UNLV is not known for quick offense, otherwise those 20 turnovers that we committed could have changed the complexion of the game
  6. Career Game #423 Dec 13, 2012: #2 Houston (9-1) @ #3 UCLA (9-0) Scouting Report Offense: very fast pace, balanced, flexDefense: m2m, only press in close and late situationsKey Players: Sr SG Joel Schuller 17.2 ppg, 5.7 rpgNotes: You won't see HOU up high in offensive rankings, but their defense has been superb so far; 20.3 opp topg (#1 Nat'l) and 37.2% opp FG (#14) 1st Half HOU maybe winning games because of their defense, but they have great shooting skills i the 1st half. Got my 1st technical of the season for excessive complaining due to the number of fouls our guys are getting. We were down by as many as 10. I had to turn to my reserves just to keep us close, and they did a good job. But we have to work hard on defense in the 2nd half, and minimize our turnovers Halftime: Down 52-55 Key stat(s) FG: UCLA 57%, HOU 63%Fast break: UCLA 4, HOU 15Key Players UCLA: C Aaron Lappas 12 pts, 3 rebsHOU: SG Joel Schuller 11 pts, 4 rebs 2nd Half We finally showed some urgency on defense. Started the 2nd half on a 15-4 run. But since then, the pace of the game has gone from fast to break neck speed, as both teams trying to outrun one another to score easy baskets. Both teams shooting well over 60% FG 10:03, Up 89-80 We are able to just hang on, and answer whatever HOU is producing. Both teams in the penalty 5:18, Up 98-91 HOU making a few more stops than us. Timeout 2:22, Up 102-98 SG Dickey Walton, who is 2-9 FG so far, hits a clutch jumper. Up 6. HOU hits 2 FTs. Up 4. SG Mark Pettway missed a 3. Another foul called. HOU scoring 2 more from the line. Timeout 1:18, Up 104-102 SG Dickey Walton drived. Missed. Timeout HOU 0:59, Up 104-102 C Aaron Lappas gets a steal! Outlet to SG Dickey Walton, who missed the shot, but got hacked. Walton hits both FTs. Timeout HOU 0:42, Up 106-102 We are playing good defense. HOU forces a 3. Missed. Out of bounds. Our ball! 0:19 left. HOU fouls. PG Troy Cotton, a reliable FT shooter, splits. Up 5. HOU with a 3. Missed. Game over. What a match!

  7. Career Game #422 Dec 6, 2012: #6 Temple (7-1) @ #3 UCLA (8-0) Scouting Report Offense: fast pace, inside, motionDefense: m2m, press about half the gameKey Players: So SG Larry Trombley 17.4 ppg, 4.6 rpgNotes: TEMP shooting 48.4% FG and 40.0% 3PT 1st Half We got to 31 pts without getting a single contribution from our season-leading scorer SG Mark Pettway, And then all of a sudden, Pettway exploded to score 13 of our last 22 pts of the 1st half. Halftime: Up 53-28 Key stat(s) FG: UCLA 80%, TEMP 42%Rebs: UCLA 17, TEMP 8Key Players UCLA: C Aaron Lappas 16 pts, 7-7 FG 2nd Half TEMP's offensive showing could have won them some close games, but the way we shot the ball today was just off the charts.

Career Game #421 Dec 2, 2012: #3 UCLA (7-0) @ Minnesota (1-3) Scouting Report Offense: fast pace, balanced, shuffleDefense: m2m, press about half the gameKey Players: Fr SF Travis Whitehead 11.0 ppg, 4.8 rpgNotes: MINN scoring just 52.8 ppg (6th lowest Nat'l) 1st Half We led 10-0 less than 2 mins into the game, and that served as an indication of the many transition baskets we scored in the 1st half. SG Mark Pettway getting more confident as the season progresses Halftime: Up 49-31 Key stat(s) FG: UCLA 58%, MINN 38%Fast break: UCLA 16, MINN 5Key Players UCLA: SG Mark Pettway 20 pts, 4 3s 2nd Half MINN's efforts to deliberately slow down the game here in the 2nd half didn't do much to affect our lead 10:06, Up 65-46 We never gave MINN a chance to get a good run, as SG Mark Pettway resumed his outside shooting.

Temple shooting just 5-22 FG, 14 pts 11:23, Up 61-41 UNC momentarily cut our lead to 14, but that was the best they could do.

But their collective talent hasn't translated to win yet, averaging just 59 ppg 1st Half Forget about their 0-2 record; if you have the top 3 freshman in the country in your starting lineup, you certainly have a good team. GT's big 3 posed a great challenge to defend; they combined for 27 pts (rest of GT: 7) and 15 rebs (rest of GT: 3). We were trailing 25-32, but got ourselves a good finish with a 15-2 run.

So in other words, we're going up against the #1 ranked team, #1 defensive team, and the #1 playerHow they got here At-large selection (1st place, Big 10 regular season; only loss cae against IND in the Big 10 tournament finals)(2nd Rd) Def Texas Christian, 75-58 (Iversen 25 pts, 17 rebs, 3 stls)(3rd Rd) Def Bradley, 64-54 (Iversen 11 pts, 10 rebs, 3 blks)(Sweet 16) Def #17 Auburn, 76-62 (Iversen 35 pts, 15 rebs, 3 blks) 1st Half So far, we're executing our defensive game plan against IOWA's C Mack Iversen, forcing him to shoot outside his comfort zone. However, we can't afford to give IOWA 2nd chance opportunities. Our turnovers have also hurt us, giving IOWA plenty of fast break pts Halftime: Down 26-36 Key stat(s) 2nd chance: UCLA 4, IOWA 14Fast break: UCLA 2, IOWA 13Key Players UCLA: SG Dickey Walton 13 pts, 4 rebsIOWA: C Mack Iversen 10 pts, 10 rebs, 2 blks 2nd Half Good start with a 11-2 run. IOWA's C Mack Iversen forced to take outside shots, and is now 4-14 FG 13:25, Down 37-38 IOWA, who were shooting 3-16 3PT earlier, has 3 of their last 4 attempts from downtown. It's a tough decision to make on whether we need to adjust defensively, or continue to clog up the lane. I decided to stick with the zone. We're still very much in this game8:37, Down 45-47 PG Eugene Tucker with back to back turnovers earlier. IOWA hits another 3. IOWA's C Mack Iversen hits a long 2 for his 1st basket of the 2nd half5:27, Down 48-54 After IOWA hits another 3, it now forces me to play m2m defense.3:28, Down 50-57 PG Eugene Tucker hots a jumper. Down 5. IOWA's C Mack Iversen, seeing he has now more room to operate inside, takes it strong and got fouled; Iversen splits. Down 6. SG Dickey Walton missed. We got called on a foul against a jump shooter. Bad foul. IOWA made both FTs. TImeout1:57, Down 52-60 SG Chris Williams can get it to fall. IOWA turns the ball over. We also turned the ball over. IOWA's C Mack Iversen hits another jump shot. Down 10. We have to start thinking 3s. We hot 1. Down 7. 0:32 left. We started fouling. IOWA missed their FT. Window of opportunity here. But another turn over on our part, our 16th for the game, That ended our chances. Those chances were few and far in between, and we threw away most of them. Great effort by SG Dickey Walton, who played 39 mins today, and was our only consistent scorer An up and down season. We'll have a strong recruiting class coming in next season. We'll see Final Score: UCLA - 57, Iowa - 62 Box Scores Walton 24, 8, 1, 3 tos, 2 3sLappas 8, 5, 0Williams 7, 6, 2, 2 stlsTucker 7, 1, 0, 5 tos, fouled outBurton 6, 7, 1Cotton 3, 1, 1, 3 tosBlevins 2, 3, 1Lappas 0, 5, 1Fuhs 0, 3, 0Jones 0, 2, 1Holliway 0, 0, 2 Team Stats FG: 37-38% Rebs: +3 TOs: +3 Pts in paint: +10 2nd chance: -2 Fast break: -6 Post game observations (-): A good comeback in the 2nd half.
