Gritty win but this game showed the importance of Dodson/Fingall.  On offense, we missed our two best offensive rebounder / put back players and thus don't have the opportunities for easy points.  And on defense, we struggled to contain penetration and heavily struggled with rebounding in the fourth quarter.  Both Dodson and Fingall clear a lot of space with their box outs, allowing Smith or Carrington to snare the defensive rebound.  Without them, it was multiple offensive rebounds for UCLA and we are a little lucky their shooting cooled down in the second half.
