It was billed as a marquee match-up of the two best Freshmen — and two Best Point Guards — in the Country: UCLA’s Lonzo Ball vs. Washington’s Markelle Fultz. Despite UCLA being favored by 11, the Huskies attracted their first sell-out crowd in FIVE YEARS, and based on the Bruins’ weak performances against Arizona and u$c about a week ago, many people expected a good, hard-fought game. Not only did UW have the crowd on their side, they also had a little confidence, having given sc a better battle this week than the Bruins did the week before.
But right from the opening tipoff, it was ALL UCLA, all night long.
