TOP 25 ROUNDUP UCLA avenges loss to No. 11 Utah Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 30, 2015 @ 2:00 am By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 30, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News LOS ANGELES — In need of a signature win to bolster a sagging NCAA tournament resume, UCLA looked for leadership from its lone senior starter. Norman Powell didn't disappoint. Powell scored 23 points and the Bruins defeated No. 11 Utah 69-59 on Thursday night for their first victory over a Top 25 opponent this season. "He's a senior and he made a lot of big plays for us," UCLA coach Steve Alford said. "As a senior when you get that kind of leadership, other guys follow." Bryce Alford had 14 points and seven assists, and Isaac Hamilton added 11 points for the Bruins (12-9, 3-5 Pac-12). "It was really big for us," Powell said. "We've had some tough losses ... and we really focused in the three days of practice leading into this. The losses versus ranked opponents, we weren't talking or moving the ball, and today we saw improvement in that." The Bruins held a 33-30 halftime advantage and led the entire second half. Delon Wright scored 15 points and Brandon Taylor had 14 for the Utes (16-4, 6-2), who have not beaten UCLA in Los Angeles since 1961. "I thought they played harder than us," Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "We really had only about a 5-minute stretch where we played hard enough." The Bruins committed just six turnovers and outscored Utah 34-26 in the paint. They also had eight steals and forced 14 turnovers. Utah beat UCLA 71-39 the first time the teams met this season on Jan. 4 in Salt Lake City. The Bruins are 10-1 at home and 2-8 in road and neutral-site games. "It was really embarrassing what happened the last time we played them," Powell said. "We were itching to get back at them." UCLA held its halftime lead after a back-and-forth first period that featured four lead changes and five ties. Powell scored 12 points in the half as the Bruins shot 15 of 31 (48.4 percent) from the field. The Bruins pulled away in the second half. UCLA opened on a 12-0 run, with eight points by Powell, and didn't allow Utah to score until the 12:38 mark. "They outscrapped us and we made it hard on ourselves," Krystkowiak said. "We're not the kind of team that can just show up. It just wasn't good." No. 1 KENTUCKY 69, MISSOURI 53: At Columbia, Mo., Andrew Harrison scored 15 points to lead a balanced Kentucky attack, and the Wildcats pulled away in the second half. The Wildcats improved to 20-0 for the third time in school history, and closed within five wins of matching the record start achieved by Adolph Rupp's team in 1953-54. As usual, Kentucky (7-0 SEC) won with its defense. Missouri turned the ball over 15 times and shot just 38 percent from the field in the second half, when the game was largely decided. Wes Clark scored 19 points for the Tigers (7-13, 1-6), who have lost six straight for the first time since 2006. No. 3 GONZAGA 64, PORTLAND 46: At Spokane, Wash., Domantas Sabonis had 13 points and 11 rebounds as Gonzaga beat Portland, extending the nation's longest home winning streak to 37 games dating to 2012. Przemek Karnowski added 10 points and 11 rebounds for Gonzaga (21-1, 10-0 West Coast Conference), whose only loss came in overtime at then-No. 3 Arizona. It is the best start in program history. Kyle Wiltjer scored 11 points and Kevin Pangos had 10 for Gonzaga, which has won 14 straight games and beaten Portland in 37 of their last 39 meetings. Bryce Pressley and Bobby Sharp each scored nine points to lead Portland (12-10, 3-7), which has lost five of six. OHIO ST. 80, No. 16 MARYLAND 56: At Columbus, Ohio, Marc Loving scored 19 points and D'Angelo Russell added 18 points and 14 rebounds to lead Ohio State over Maryland. Jae'Sean Tate, starting his third game in a row, added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Buckeyes (17-5, 6-3 Big Ten), who have won three in a row — including the last two over ranked opponents at home. Dez Wells had 12 points and Jake Layman 10 for Maryland (18-4, 6-3), which had won four of five.
