And now for something really different from the UCLA Bruins — a close game.
The Bruins had breezed to an unbeaten mark in their first five games, winning by an average of 26.6 points per game.
They were a high-flying offensive machine, averaging 104.4 points per game.
But Friday night against Nebraska, the Bruins found themselves in a tight contest, having to hold off a Cornhuskers rally for a 82-71 victory in their semifinal of the Wooden Legacy tournament at Cal State Fullerton.
The 14th-ranked Bruins (6-0) will meet Texas A&M, a 68-65 winner over Virginia Tech, at 5:30 p.
