Halftime

Stanford down by a single point.

The guys need to play within themselves a little more. A couple of truly pointless turnovers on fast breaks where there was nothing available. There are open shots available in the halfcourt set. There's no reason to rush things.

Nice penetration work by the Stanford guards. This seems to be a real weakness of UCLA's D, which surprises me.

UCLA is totally shutting down Brook Lopez; hopefully he'll adjust and have a monster second half.

Stanford actually outplayed UCLA, I think, but they stayed in it with an unrealistic 3-pointer percentage. Granted, they had a bunch of open looks, but nobody is that hot all the time.

Lawrence Hill is getting some openings; they need to give him the ball despite his struggles in prior games. We know he's got the talent.

That's all for now. I'll wrap up in an hour or so.
