lee. malcolm up and in. >> marques: collins to aldrich, nice defensive play on the wing by malcolm lee. >> -- no. a foul against henry. >> marques: ucla has to do more defensively. nikola dragovic, looking at that last defensive play, nice job on the wings. active hands. did a nice job barreling down the floor. cutting off the defender. finishing at the rim. >> steve: ucla has outscored 16-7 over the last six minutes. that concludes their final moment of that first half. and a turnover. that's number 12 by the bruins. >> marques: wide open, steve, on the handoff play that just happened but because he's missed some shots out here he felt he should have made his confidence is down. you got to keep, you have to shoot yourself out of your difficulty if you're michael. you can't pass up open shots. >> steve: defend by ucla malcolm lee. scores. >> marques: the nuances of basketball by sherron collins. you maybe wouldn't notice it but dea great job, kind of looking off to the center, getting the pass to the corner. just enough for the easy layup. >> steve: almost a steal but the ball was knocked

jarvis. >> steve: lee picks it off and malcolm, a nice drive to the hoop, and that was strong by malcolm lee. >> marcus: going to the hole. i don't know if it will ever happen, but i'd like to see him being able to try and use that kind of ability from maybe a force with space to operate and off the dribble going to the basket jarvis. >> steve: the bruins have a lot of players that need to get in that weight room? >> marcus: yeah, tyler honeycutt, malcolm lee could use some more strength and right here coming at you, a nice little stutter going left and getting the defense to bite and explosion going to his right and his athleticism really amps up two or three notches, malcolm lee. flat-footed, you don't see it. jarvis. >> steve: this tame ravern johnson simply lost the basketball through his hands and fired it over his team bench so ucla can close down. they have been as close as 16 in the second half after being down by 21 at halftime and 40-19. >> marcus: would have been a bit surprise federal that one went in. it would have been tough. everything he threw up in that first half found

defending the point guard malcolm lee this season. jarvis. >> steve: well, this is a different ucla game that we've seen in the past. ben howland has had great success, but he's lost so many players recently leaving for the nba and this team is lacking a little talent and also experience. john wooden said i'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and little talent but this team is suffering in both areas. down low. varnado, and they are killing the bruins right now. up 21. >> marcus: no excuse for the lack of principles on weak side defense jarvis. >> steve: no basket as we head to the locker room. all mississippi state early as the team that's picked to win the s.e.c. west this year dominating the pac-10 bruins by 21. let's go to michael eaves. >> michael: thanks a lot. very impressive performance by your team in the first half. >> keep that up for 20 more minutes. 20 minutes and we know we're on a roll against a very good basketball team so we've got to keep defending. i know we're scoring but

. >> steve: malcolm lee. >> marques: malcolm lee, another guy that just hasn't been a presence in this game. especially with the talent and the offensive skills that he possesses. you've got to play the entire game. >> steve: he has moved also from the two to a one, anderson on the sideline. that was out of bounds to ucla with the bruins trailing by 11. 6:1209 play. the bruins very young. i mean, ben howland has three seniors, one walk-on junior, three sophomores, and five freshmen. the least experienced team he's ever had. he teaches defense. fans, have you to be patient because it is a tough defense to execute perfectly. freshmen and sophomores usually aren't that successful. i still think come conference time this league is down a little bit, it's wide open. >> marques: yeah. you look at the pac-10, big 12 challenge, pac-10 down 6-2 so far and a bad loss to oregon getting blown by missouri. you're right. down a bit. my point is it's up for grabs. whoever comes out and scraps and wants it the most has the opportunity to finish in the division. >> steve: aldrich -- a guy like reeves n
