UCLA beats ASU with defense and 3s

It’s been said that the one thing UCLA basketball couldn’t do was score from outside.

Never mind.

The Bruins not only did what they usually do (dominate on defense), but after a slow start, UCLA’s offense got on a roll, making 10 of 20 three-pointers en route to a 70-49 win. Darren Collison was 5 for 6 and Josh Shipp was 4 for 8 from outside the arc, breaking out of his 0 for 20 slump.

The Bruins looked like they were in postseason form, completely shutting down Arizona State’s offense and out-rebounding them by a wide margin (33 to 19) — which is good since March Madness is only a few weeks away.
