Sports: UCLA 68 MSU 63

Whoa!

Was listening to the last part of the game on the radio and UCLA was playing catch up.

This was their first game against a ranked opponent and it was a tough one!

Its one thing to be beating up on mid-majors on your home court. Its another thing to be facing one of the top teams from a power conference on a neutral site!

Anyway, I figured they might suffer a narrow loss given the team isn't at full strength missing several key players due to injuries.  It would be a good tough loss that would build the character of the team for the grind of the season.

But they pulled it out!

Only concern: missed free throws. I'm guessing Coach Howland will have the team working on it in the next practice.

They battled back from a deficit. That somehow is tough defense and being smart on offense. And what a huge basket by Luc Richard Mbah a Moute!
