dragovic. air ball. >> marques: dragovic keeps the bruins close, maintaining contact. down seven points. >> steve: ucla with the man defense. lee on collins. johnson misses and a good rebound for kansas and a putback. this is a career high, 12 points. >> mike: back at pauley pavilion number one kansas leading ucla, 52-43. michael eaves back with you. steve and marques were talking earlier. reeves nelson is a ben howland kind of player. we've seen it so far in this game. of his eight rebounds six have been offensive. being scrappy down low. battling cole aldrich, the morris twins. really being the defensive, pretty kind of player ben howland was when he was in high school and college. but on this play, coming up, being scrappy. being tough. he takes one to the eye. the ball goes in. they've been working on him in the time-out ever since. he does have a slight scratch just below his right eye but the real problem is and marques says this, his eye is really swelling up. they put some ice on it. trying to get the swelling to go down. the trainers were having him follow a f

dragovic just a 23% shooter from three-point range. he shot 44% last year and ravern johnson, he's got a good shot. >> marcus: he does and one thing coach stansbury told us, he does one thing and does anybody as well as everybody in the southeastern conference is knocking down that jump shot and he becomes a tough matchup because of his size jarvis. >> steve: the first thing benland talked about yesterday at practice. they go inside to nelson, and mississippi state has had 28 three-pointers the last two games. they are averaging ten made per game. >> marcus: that is so unorthodox that varnado was asking for a travel violation. how do you do that without traveling? reeves nelson a nice bit of ball fake being and that will be a key for ucla jarvis. >> steve: i don't know if they want augustus taking that shot. anderson has it swatted away and claimed by mississippi state. >> marcus: come on in here and add to my s.e.c. record-leading total jarvis. >> steve: barry stewart missing and rebounding michael roll. >> marcus: with varnado is say

he is now 0 for 9. 0 for 9 is nikola dragovic. rebound tyler honeycutt. >> marcus: you know, that possession right there, honeycutt is bringing the basketball and trying to create something on his own and what's going to make him a special ballplayer for ucla once he gets his timing and his conditioning in order jarvis. >> steve: next saturday, east meets west in a powerful s.e.c. pac-10 doubleheader. first the women hit the court as two teams with national title dreams around then the men take center court when number 9 tennessee looks to shut down c usc. the action tips off at 2:30 eastern and 11:30 pacific. at the free-throw line reeves nelson, a bundle of energy. i think he has a terrific future because he brings the attack. he bring he brings the high energy and emotion that ben howland likes so much. >> marcus: he's not going to be 20 points, 9, 10, 11 rebounds, can average 7 or 8 rebounds easily but-for-this team to be successful they have to get some offense generated through some of these recruits, smith, josh lamb jarvis

dragovic is here. >> marques: there's that high/low bill self is known for.de. >> steve: he really sealed off his defender underneath the basket. >> marques: they do a terrific job. danny teaches these guys the professional way. to steal, sometimes they'll steal, spin, and then lob over the top. happen. and maybe it's asking too much looking at the personnel and the limits of that personnel but they need their point guard jerime anderson to penetrate and try to take guys off the double, try to draw defenders so they can kick out the open shots. it's just so tough for these guys to do. >> steve: this is jerime anderson, a talented young man, a sophomore from anaheim canyon high school and a star. but ucla does not have much point guard depth. i know they're recruiting ray mcallen and jones. this is a program that does not have the point guard depth to it. a young man can come in here and play a lot of minutes immediately. >> marques: they don't have the speed and push defense position that they need with sherron collins. they have to know how to get to the gut
