The Bruins are on the bitter rival of the USC, wins the fourth consecutive victory

It was not pretty, but the Bruins of the UCLA (15-6, 6-4) found a way to do so and defeat their bitter rival, the Trojan horses of the USC (12-8, 4-5) On the road, Monday evening. The Bruins exploded an advance at the end of second place, but were able to escape with a victory thanks to a few clutch strokes in the section.

The UCLA has never dragged after the 17-minute brand of the first half, because it did exceptional work to keep Trojan horses remotely for the majority of the competition. The Bruins led by 12 with just over 9 minutes to do and watched the head disappear at a point with less than two minutes to play.

With the ball and clinging to an advance of a point, the second -year goalkeeper of the Bruins, Sebastian Mack, struck a huge three -point pointer that would catch up with the game of Trojan horses on the other side . Free throws would follow and the Bruins have emptied one of the most significant victories of the season.

It was a strong night of shooting from Bruins because they made 54.9% of their shots on 28-51. They were the most impressive on the free throw line, overthrowing 20-25 strokes to the charity. They were only 6-16 from the 3-point beach, but the triple of Mack changed the situation.

The Bruins won victory without their top scorer, junior attacker Tyler Bilodeau. After undergoing an ugly ankle injury last week against Washington Huskies, Bilodeau did not end up playing this game after being listed as questionable. Several Bruins have again intensified his absence.

Instead of Bilodeau, the second year center Aday Mara made its very first start to the season. He also recorded his first double-double of the season, marking 12 points, lowering 11 rebounds and blocking five shots. He marks the third consecutive match that Mara has scored two figures.

The second year goalkeeper Eric Dailey Jr. led the Bruins with 16 points, adding six rebounds and two interceptions. He was assisted by the junior goalkeeper Dylan Andrews who scored 12 points with six assists and Mack was again sensational on the bench with 14 points.

The UCLA has now responded powerfully after its sequence of four defeats with a sequence of four consecutive victories to fight the slippage. He has now been two games above 0,500 in conference games and won a pair of crucial road victories against Huskies and USC. The real waffle of the calendar begins now.

Bruins are ready for a revenge match with another opponent classified in the N ° 16 Oregon Ducks (16-4, 5-4) at home Thursday evening. The first meeting between these teams was decided by a winner of 3 points from Andrews to steal the victory. The Ducks will surely seek revenge.
