I kept following asleep last night as I posted, so stopped.
Would add that our FT shooting also was a major factor in winning. Brink of course but also others. As someone who harps on making FTs, I was pleasantly surprised at how great we did. It gave us a good amount of points and made Ucla pay for its aggressive fouling. Just as importantly, it kept our momentum going when we were ahead, and it also prevented Ucla from building a lead when they mounted their 3rd Q surge. When they went ahead of us in the 3rd and 4th by 1-4 points, we would make FTs to keep close even when we were in a FG drought.
Interesting points made by Baez and Ultimate about Jump's shoulder. Perhaps I and others are wrong, and it's more physical than mental.
