LOS ANGELES -- Two freshmen almost managed something in one game thats been
accomplished only four times in UCLAs storied history -- a triple-double.
Puma Womens
Shoes Sale .Forward T.J. Leaf and guard Lonzo Ball each finished
only a few assists shy of a triple-double in No. 2 UCLAs dominating 102-62
victory over UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday night.Leaf finished with 25 points,
10 rebounds and eight assists, while Ball had 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven
assists.UCLA coach Steve Alford took both players out with several minutes still
to play, uninterested in individual accomplishments.It all centers around our
guys being unselfish, Alford said. Im not going to leave our guys in for
something like that in a 40-point game.UCLA (11-0) scored at least 100 points
for the fifth time this season.The Gauchos outrebounded the Bruins 50-46, but
UCLA held Santa Barbara to 30.1 percent shooting (25 of 83).We let the boards
get away from us in the second half (34-23), but we did have 10 blocks, Alford
said.Ami Lakoju had 12 rebounds and 11 points, and Gabe Vincent added 10 points
for the Gauchos (1-7).Santa Barbara struggled to find consistency against the
Bruins, shooting just 25 percent (13 of 52) in the second half.Gauchos coach Bob
Williams was left almost in awe of the Bruins effort.They are incredibly gifted,
very long and they shoot really well, Williams said. They really run
effortlessly and theyre playing and making the game easy. They pass and move and
cut hard.At times out there, they have five guys who can shoot the 3. Their
length is something you dont see at our level.Leaf and Ball said they were both
unconcerned at just missing a triple-double.We really didnt notice it, Leaf
said. Were trying to play unselfish basketball, and we were able to do that
tonight.Five Bruins scored in double figures. Aaron Holiday had 20 points, Bryce
Alford added 15 and Isaac Hamilton had 13 (all in the first half).The Bruins
played their second consecutive game without starting center Thomas Welch, who
is out with a bruised right heel.BIG PICTUREUC Santa Barbara: The Bruins were
the highest-ranked team the Gauchos have faced since meeting No. 1 North
Carolina on Nov. 21, 2008. The Tar Heels won 84-67.UCLA: Coming off Saturdays
102-84 victory over Michigan, the Bruins were ripe for a letdown but had too
much talent to ever be in trouble against Santa Barbara.STAR WATCHHoliday, who
lost his starting spot with the arrival of Ball, continued his torrid scoring
pace off the bench. He is averaging 13.9 points per game. Alford said Holiday
had been disappointed in his 73 percent free throw shooting and had been
spending extra time on it.I was just concentrating, Holiday said. Nine of nine?
Thats pretty good.TURNING POINTThe Bruins trailed once, slipping behind 12-11.
They responded with a 17-0 run -- all but three points scored by
Leaf.TRIPLE-DOUBLESThe four triple-doubles in the UCLA record book belong to
Kyle Anderson (2013), Toby Bailey (1995), Jelani McCoy (1995) and Bill Walton
(1973). The assist became an official NCAA stat in 1983-84.POLL IMPLICTIONSThe
Bruins looked very much the No. 2 team in the country, the spot they have held
since upsetting then-No. 1 Kentucky on Dec. 3.UP NEXTUC Santa Barbara: The
Gauchos meet Iona on Wednesday in Las Vegas in the South Point Holiday Hoops
Classic.UCLA: The Bruins meet Ohio State on Saturday in Las Vegas as part of the
