UCLA will return to action against CSUN (2-5) in Pauley Pavilion on Sunday, Nov. 29. So we’ve got to get that down.
Indiana: The Hoosiers won the Maui Invitational in 2002 and they have made six appearances in all…. And with upcoming games against Oregon (Dec. 4), Wichita State (Dec. 9), Arizona State (Dec. 16) and Arizona (Dec. 19), there will be plenty of other chances for the Rebels to build capital for March. “They helped us win the ballgame”. 3 Arizona in mid-December and then never played at that level again for the rest of the season.
“You come here as a group, as a team, trying to find out your identity, trying to see who in your program has toughness, who can bounce back”, Rice said.
Rayshawn Simmons made a bucket to pull Central Michigan within two, 17-15, midway through the first half but back-to-back layups by Johnson sparked a 19-4 Western Kentucky (3-2) run to close the half.

Wake Forest had at least a plus-10 rebound advantage in its first four games, the first time it had done that since the first six games of 1997-98 when Tim Duncan was at center. But in this game, the credit should also be shared with Ben Carter. We put them on the free-throw line a few too many times – that was certainly a negative and something that we talked about – but nevertheless I thought we did a nice job defending and did a nice job defending the 3-point line.
