UCLA men's basketball
coach Ben Howland talked a lot about using a taller lineup
during the preseason but on Saturday afternoon, he opted to take a smaller
approach against Texas.
The Bruins started
three guards - Lazeric Jones, Tyler Lamb and Jerime
Anderson - with 6-foot-10 forwards David and Travis
Wear. The "small ball" approach paid off as the Bruins blasted
off to a 17-6 lead, making their first six field goals as all five starters
scored.
It was a good look, especially against an athletic Texas team that finished the first half on a 7-2 run to leave UCLA leading 34-28.
