Hi, I’m tired and this game was over after five minutes, so you’re getting a really short recap. I promise I’ll dive more into the first three games next week.
UCLA dominated Long Island from the opening tip thanks to the two-big lineup, with Aday Mara getting his first collegiate start opposite Adem Bona. The two bigs feasted on an undersized LIU squad, with Bona scoring 20 while Mara added 14. The only real question was whether UCLA would extend the 3-point streak, mostly because the Bruins realized they didn’t have to shoot anything past 5-feet from the basket. (The streak did end, by the way).
My wife is handling the long drive home From Westwood so I can post my comment. We knew it would be easier than cakewalk and indeed it was. Our players seemed to have settled into their roles and played with ease and confidence. Their attitude said it all, Some managed to wave at us off camera even. I can tell they are reserving their best for the games down the road. Right now they are simply going through the motion, relaxing, LOL !!!
