agree that the rebounding edge in favor of the Bruins was the difference. that and Kyman going 5 of 8 on 3's - with 4? in a row. Don't agree that Campbell was the difference. He got some very favorable stats from the home court scorer - who BTW never gave ASU the 3 points on the basket interference call late in the first half. IIRC, ASU only got credit for 2.
White was really well defended, as was Verge. The height advantage by UCLA was a large factor.
Next time we play them, Cherry will be needed to hit the boards.
In the off season, Graham needs to live in the gym, and the training table. I like his game, but he really gets pushed around, and allows the ball to be stripped.
BTW - Edwards was 7-9 from the arc.
When Don McLean starts complaining about the bad, and inconsistent calls from the refs, I think it is fair for ASU to voice complaints as well.
ASU needs to win the final 3. This remains doable. UCLA may to 0-2.
