UCLA Can’t Handle Hofstra Barrage, Loses 88-78
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsSometimes writing these recaps is an interesting affair, and can get pretty personal, so let me start by saying: I’m not that upset by this loss.
Don’t get me wrong, there were many points where the UCLA Bruins really should have put the Hofstra Pride away. At one point in the first half, the Bruins had a 13 point lead and looked set up to cruise to another easy victory. And even in the second half, UCLA again raced out to an 8 point lead and seemed set up to run away with the game. But Hofstra is a veteran team that refused to quit, and had two players in Desure Buie and Jaylen Ray, who absolutely went off and hit shots no matter how good UCLA’s defense was.
