UCLA Basketball News Roundup: Second Half Almost Answers Presbyterian’s Prayers

The UCLA Bruins played its last cupcake before a real game against Michigan State on Thursday night. As Markybcool pointed out sarcastically:

Michigan State struggled in their Blue Hose trap game yesterday against the Golden Eagles, winning 101-33.

UCLA’s best hope on Thanksgiving Day against Michigan State may be prayer. As in, pray they miss. That brings us to the Bruin defense. The results were good in the first half, but Steve Alford had another surprising take:

I think, 41-19 and we were so dominant in the first half, defensively, but we tried telling them at halftime: some of that was fool’s gold because they missed a lot of open looks off of our turnovers.
