LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

The Bomb scare couldn't stop them. Their cold, clanky shooting in the first ten minutes couldn't stop them, and no, not even the evangelical Bruins could stop them. Down 18-12 with 10 minutes left in the first half, UCLA flipped a mental switch, corrected its early accuracy problems, and cruised to a first round victory at Cox Arena in San Diego, 78-44. After allowing the Belmont squad to jump ahead and score 18 points in the first 10 minutes, the Bruin defense held the plucky Tennesseans to 26 points over the last 30 minutes of the game. Prince Luc Richard Mbah A Moute led the Bruins with terrific shooting and assists. UCLA doubled the Belmont rebound tally, 44-22, and rather quickly took the air out of a noisy, anti-UCLAN rabble which dotted the breadth of the arena. Sour grape Aztec locals, no doubt
