Although Arizona State Coach Bobby Hurley said that running with Kentucky was the basketball equivalent of sticking your head in the mouth of a lion, that’s exactly what UCLA plans to do.
“They run the floor as well as anybody,” UCLA Coach Steve Alford said of the Wildcats. “And it’s kind of our identity, too.”
UCLA’s defense and toughness have been questioned. Alford has conceded that the Bruins are “an offensive-minded group.”
No one questions Kentucky’s defense, not with the first seven opponents shooting with 37.6-percent accuracy while averaging 10.6 assists and 19 turnovers.
If Kentucky throttles UCLA’s offense, it figures to take a compelling effort. The Bruins’ leading scorer, Isaac Hamilton (18.0 ppg), balked at Hurley’s advice about slowing the tempo against Kentucky.
“I’m a competitor,” Hamilton said. “So I’m not going to just bow down like that. I feel we can run with these guys.”

Apparently, yes. Not much good defense out there today.

We now know the answer to that question. I never thought I would see a Cal coached team give up that many points, especially in Rupp. We played no defense at all today, the UCLA turnovers in the first half were all unforced.
