reeves nelson is going right to the locker room. that right eye. he is in some pain. >> marques: most impressive, gets back out there and gives it a shot. >> steve: i know you were talking about it being down this year but 21 players selected by the nba the last two years, 13 in the first round, more than any other who have suffered those kinds of losses. that's why the big 12 has the endless challenge thus far, six victories in two. kansas trying to take this win against ucla bruins at pauley pavilion. just 7 for 15 from the foul line. marcus morris. >> marques: right over the top of nikola dragovic on the outside. >> steve: dragovic in and out. aldrich grabs it. >> marques: i got a good friend of mine, he loves to say, don't panic. help is on the way. ucla, they've got josh smith in seattle who was highly recruited coming in next year. tyler lamb out of southern california, orange county coming in. watched him play the last couple years. a couple good ones out there they're trying to get signed up. >> steve: lee misness the corner. honeycutt gets

anderson giving it up to reeves nelson. fouled by tyshawn taylor. >> marques: they had a couple guys, concerned and confused about who's playing point guard. jeremy anderson almost bumped into him at mid court. you get a transition opportunity you got to bail out if you're malcolm lee, defer to jerime anderson and allow him to make the play as the point guard on the floor. >> steve: ucla only shooting 55% this year at the foul line and here's reeves nelson, a freshman from modesto, only a 53% shooter. bruins opening the second half with nelson, anderson, roll, dragovic, and lee. kansas going with morris, henry, collins. >> marques: the second time he's gotten his hands on a pass that would have led to an easy two on the inside. great defense. >> steve: steal by lee. malcolm up and in. >> marques: collins to aldrich, nice defensive play on the wing by malcolm lee. >> steve: morris -- no. a foul against henry. >> marques: ucla has to do more defensively. nikola dragovic, looking at that last defensive play, nice job on the wi

depth perception thrown off, but just a really bright future for reeves nelson. plays so hard and most effective interior offensive player for ucla jarvis. >> steve: down low and it is varnado scoring his first basket and mississippi state goes in front by six. the bulldogs coming off an impressive win against depaul. they crushed them, 76-:45. malcolm lee hits the jumper and had to wait a second to let the defense slifd by and drops his first field goal. >> marcus: they need malcolm lee, again, just to be more aggressive on the oefnt offensive end and attack the basket and go towards the basket north and south as opposed to being an east-west pal player to use football parlance jarvis. >> steve: i was just going to ask you is he running up the middle or the sweep? >> marcus: darren collison could get away with it last year because of his quickness. malcolm lee has more range at 6'3", long, but when he gets going and a head of steam going to the basket, he's got some nice abilities to finish inside jarvis. >> steve: dragovic can hit the three and misses. dragovic

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. >> steve: well, can you imagine what they might have next year with smith at the post and nelson at a power forward and honeycutt off on a wing with malcolm lee and perhaps a point guard? >> marcus: they could be pretty good as soon as next year, but ben howland will have a rough go this year with the club he has. clear and green bottles let in light, which can rn traditionally brewed beer skunky. brown bottles protect better. we use higher six packs protect it from the light. we put so much care into brewing the beer that we want to protect it. grill: holy moly!!! what just hap...whoa! grill: i mean...wow! hey! that lo

nelson. >> steve: roll from downtown missing. it is out of bounds. still ucla basketball. 10:58 to play first half. kansas ucla 15-6. michael eaves courtside with you. we visited with bill self yesterday. despite his team being young in some regards he said this is the most versatile team he's had. what we're seeing today is that versatility leading to really good defense. they've.ÑíkÑ already forced sev steals in this game so far. in their last game against alcorn they had 21. it's the tenacity that kansas can get guys into bad rotations, they can get them playing faster than they want to play and ultimately get easy baskets. when you get a team like kansas, easy baskets makes them that much harder to beat. that's why people think they are the best team in the country. >> steve: michael, ucla is scoreless the last four minutes, 0 for 5. when you think of kansas you think of a high octane offense. many don't realize they were fifth nationally in field goal defense at 38% last year. ucla cuts it to seven. dragovic is here. >> m
