Seldom commits errors, at 11.9 topg (#9)How they got here At-large selection (2nd place, CUSA regular season)(2nd Rd) Def Maine, 62-49 (Ohl 21 pts, 7 rebs) (3rd Rd) Def Duke, 72-59 (Ohl 18 pts, 7 rebs) 1st Half I though we got a break when MEM's SG Lucas Ohl picked up 2 quick fouls. MEM had other players who can score from the outside. Our bigger problem though was how to score against the stingy defense of MEM, as we struggled early with our shots. The answer came from the bench, with both C Chris Condill and SG TJ Jones scoring 10 pts each to help kick start our offense. It also helped that we forced MEM to a lot of turnovers during the latter part of the 1st half Halftime: Up 42-29 Key stat(s) Bench: UCLA 31, MEM 15TOs: UCLA 8, MEM 17Key Players UCLA: SG TJ Jones 10 pts 2nd Half C Chris Condill scored the 1st 7 pts of the 2nd half, to push our lead to 20. MEM regrouped, and starting to make their comeback. But as soon as MEM's SG Lucas Ohl hit his 1st 2 baskets of the game, he picked up his 4th foul. I'm starting to get worried though on our turnovers; we already have 6 here in the 2nd half 10:22, Up 54-45 We made some key baskets to keep MEM at bay, but we can feel that they are breathing down our necks, and ready to make one final push5:49, Up 61-52 PF Justin Blevins, who only had 1 pt prior to his re entry in the game, came up with 5 straight pts. SF David Fuhs, who is scoreless so far, connected on a jumper. A small 7-0 run, but it was enough to give us a commanding 16pt lead, and forcing MEM to a timeout4:03, Up 68-52 Still a 17pt lead with less than 2 mins remaining, when MEM's SG Lucas Ohl ended his night (and college career) with his 5th foul. We move to the Elite 8!

CREIGH does not waste too many opportunities from the line, shooting 79.2% FT (#9 Nat'l)How they got here Automatic selection (Champs, MVC tournament)(2nd Rd) Def #25 St John's, 89-68 (Mardis 29 pts, 4, rebs, 4 asts, 5 3s) 1st Half Calls are very tight at both ends of the floor. But we caught the bigger fish early, when CREIGH's SG Kenyatta Mardis picked up 2 quick fouls. But even without Mardis, CREIGh able to to keep close. Mardis returned at the latter part of the 1st half, but remained scoreless. So if we were able shut down an almost 20 ppg scorer, but our lead is only 4, then it mean s we have to further improve our defense in the 2nd half.
