UCLA vs Portland State - Nov 9 2007 |
|
Having gone to UCLA, I enjoy watching their basketball games. Using cstv, I watched the season opener versus Portland State on my laptop. I don't know all the names of the Portland State players so the notes are somewhat general on their end.
FIRST HALF
Watching the game on cstv, I was annoyed to hear commercials during
the National Anthem and the player introductions.
Chris Roberts and Don MacLean finally came in.
The yellow C on the UCLA jerseys (signaling 100 championships) doesn't look right.
Aboya controls the opening tip. Portland State gets a steal but they miss on a layup attempt.
Prince misses on a 3:1 but Aboya cleans it up.
Portland State gets hit with a back court violation.
Kevin Love gets an easy slam to make it 4-0.
Love gets a big defensive rebound and on the other end Aboya throws away a pass meant for Love.
Westbrook gets a nice defensive board. Prince misses off the front of the rim but then Portland State loses the board.
Westbrook gets hit w/ a 5 second call on an inbound attempt.
Westbrook gets another defensive rebound and dishes to Shipp who is fouled. Westbrook inbounds to Love for another slam. MacLean notes the change from a 5 second call to a dunk.
The replays on cstv are annoying, they block live play.
Portland State scores on a layup.
Shipp drains a 3 to make it 9-2.
Dominguez misses a 3 and Love gets fouled after pulling down the board.
We have a timeout with 15:43 left in the first half. We hear a budweiser commercial on the audio while the video shows a salute to Tasha Schwikert for gymnastics. The video then promotes men's hoops while we hear a LandCruiser commercial. Someone is heard saying 20 seconds during the audio. Next we hear "5 seconds stand by" and are returned to Roberts and MacLean.
Westbrook brings it across against the zone. Shipp hits another trey making it 2 in a row. MacLean notes that Shipp has to drain 3s and we miss a turnover and a UCLA slam on the video while the replay interrupts live play again. I think cstv should just do away with the replays.
Morrison turns it over. Aboya fees Love for another bucket making it 16-2.
Another replay blocks the action but we hear it is a tomahawk slam from Roberts (don't see it though).
We take another commercial break.
The video comes back but the audio is still on commercials as we see Portland State hit a trey. Dragovic has checked in per Roberts. Westbrook hits a 10 foot bank shot.
Aboya gets called for a foul when trying to steal from Dominguez. Huff gets fouled by Aboya during a trey attempt. MacLean notes that Aboya needs to figure out how to be smart with his fouls. Denote Huff makes it 20-8 after his free throws.
The players now call Dragovic Nic per Roberts. Shipp comes away with a steal and a layup. The replay blocks a steal on the other end.
With 11:41 left in the first half we take another timeout.
22-8 is the score as MacLean notes that the game is brought to us by Corona. Love knocks down a 23 footer on the near left wing.
Huff is blocked as he drives and UCLA eventually gets the ball.
Westbrook brings it up and Love is fouled at the top of the circle.
Stanback checks in for UCLA, replacing Shipp. Roberts notes that both Stanback and Shipp went to Fairfax.
Murray puts up an airball. Westbrook gets called for an offensive foul on the other end.
JR Moore makes a 10 footer for P State.
Nic misses a trey for UCLA. JR Moore gets the long board. Love blocks the Portland State shot out of bounds. Traveling is the call on Lukas and the ball goes to UCLA.
Hamid brings it into the front court for UCLA. Love gets fouled hard during a shot attempt. Roberts notes that Love hits the deck hard. Love shakes it off and goes to the line for 2. Love misses off the back of the rim on the first attempt. The second goes right in for the 85% high school free throw shooter.
26-10 is the score as P State passes the ball around. A trey is missed but P State gets the ball back. Prince misses a 15 footer and Murray grabs the board for P State.
P State misses trey and Nic makes a reverse layup on the other end. The replay blocks live video again so we miss the action on the other end. UCLA has the ball again when the video comes back. Love goes to the line for being hit on the arm during his shot.
We have another timeout with under 8 minutes to go if the first half.

At 38-20 the replay keeps us from seeing the video again. Finally we're back with P State inbounding the ball. Nic gets fouled pulling down a board.
