First Half Thoughts:
Cal had to go to double over-time against Oregon last night so UCLA was better rested.
The teams beat each other on the road this year so I'm not sure how they felt about playing this game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
UCLA started out hot, I knew things were going well when Bozeman hit a 3(as a guard Bozeman isn't known for his outside shooting (but he knows how to dish, leading the Pac-10 in dimes 2 years ago)). Cal got it going after Hollins picked up 3 fouls and sat.
Once Hollins was out, Powe turned into a monster and could not be stopped (it is easy to see why he was the Pac-10 freshman of the year 2 years ago).
Cal went on a nice run at the end of the first half and almost caught up.
As a UCLA fan it is hard to believe they were only up 32-29 at the half given how well they were playing at the beginning of the game.
