Since I last talked to you, Western Kentucky has made a run on UCLA. After trailing by 21 at the half, the Hilltoppers have outscored the Bruins 29-15 in the second half to trail (as I write this) by nine. There is under 9:00 left in the game.
How did they do this? Get UCLA in foul trouble.
Russell Westbrook, Darren Collison and Josh Shipp have all got four fouls apiece. Because those guys have to sit, Western Kentucky has decided to press UCLA full court. That has forced 17 UCLA turnovers and some easy baskets for WKU.
Tyrone Brazelton is leading the charge with 18 points (including three makes from behind the arc).
Oh, since I've written this ... UCLA's lead is down to four points.
UPDATE: With less than six minutes left, Collison fouled Courtney Lee on a three point shot. Collison has fouled out and the lead is still four.
