HENDERSON, Nev. — Tyler Bilodeau rose for a three-pointer that fell through the net while getting knocked to the court.
The UCLA forward and his team were on the verge of getting blown out midway through the second half in their first test of the season. If the Bruins were going to rally from a double-digit deficit, they needed to start here.
Bilodeau stepped to the free-throw line for what could have been a four-point play. He missed. Grabbing the rebound, he went back up for a putback. That also was off the mark.
