Two sequences involving Jalen Hill on Saturday told the story of his season.
The first came when the UCLA redshirt junior forward went for a steal late in the first half but couldn’t come up with the ball, his failed attempt leaving him out of position as Oregon State’s Roman Silva drove for a layup.
The second, early in the second half, was even more unsightly, Hill missing an awkward turnaround jumper before committing two fouls in an 11-second span and getting yanked from the game.
He’s been a second late, a little bit off in nearly every game since returning from the right knee tendinitis that forced him to miss the season’s first two games.
