LOS ANGELES -- UCLA followed up its upset victory at then-No. 1 Kentucky in a big way.The second-ranked Bruins clamped down on defense in the second half to beat Michigan 102-84 on Saturday night in front of 13,571, the first sellout at Pauley Pavilion in nearly four years.T.J. Leaf scored 21 points, fellow freshman Lonzo Ball added 19 and UCLA (10-0) held the Wolverines to 34 percent shooting in the final 20 minutes after playing to a 50-all tie in the first half. While their defense improved, so did the Bruins offense. They shot 74 percent in the second half.We really got smacked in the mouth in the first half, Leaf said. In the second half we had a different mindset and established what we wanted to do out there instead of letting them do what they wanted.Both teams shot over 60 percent from the floor in the first half.Of the Wolverines 19 made baskets, 12 were 3-pointers. The Bruins made 10 3-pointers, with Ball making all four of his attempts. His last one from midway between the 3-point and half court lines pulled UCLA into a 50-all tie at halftime.Every shot I take I expect to make it, Ball said. I was in rhythm in the first half.Late in the half, the Wolverines outscored UCLA 15-2, including three 3-pointers, to take a 48-41 lead. The Bruins managed to tie it up on 3-pointers by Isaac Hamilton, Aaron Holiday and Ball.Theyre really good with five guys that can hurt you, Michigan coach John Beilein said. We probably wont see a team that has five guys that can attack and hurt you. In our league we may have three guys.Bryce Alford added 18 points and Aaron had 17 for the Bruins, who made 15 3-pointers, just off the school-record 18 they had in winning their season opener against Pacific. Holiday hit all five of his 3-point attempts.The Bruins topped 100 points for the fourth time this season.Were starting to put on a show for people and word of mouth is starting to spread, Alford said.Zak Irvin scored 18 points to lead the Wolverines (7-3). They were limited to just two 3-pointers in the second half.Were really good going into halftime knowing what we did wrong and making adjustments, and thats what we did, Alford said.Michigan got within five for the last time with just under eight minutes to go. UCLA went on a 17-6 run, getting 3-pointers from Holiday and Alford (two), to go up 94-78 and put the game away.We really executed, but we ran out of gas in the second half, forward D.J. Wilson said. We had some blow-byes and our defense just kind of gave up.The Wolverines were limited to three field goals over the final seven minutes.POLL IMPLICATIONSPlaying just once during finals week, the Bruins should stay at No. 2. They could have moved up to the top spot, but No. 1 Villanova rallied from an 11-point deficit to beat 23rd-ranked Notre Dame 74-66.BIG PICTUREMichigan: The Wolverines defense took a beating. They came in giving up 58.2 points per game and had allowed 60 or fewer points in five of their previous nine games. They had forced 13 turnovers per game (UCLA had eight) and had blocked 24 shots, but didnt have any blocks Saturday.UCLA: The Bruins are in the midst of a series of stiff challenges. A week ago, they upset then-No. 1 Kentucky at Rupp Arena to zoom nine spots to their highest ranking since November 2007. After hosting UC Santa Barbara next week, they face Ohio State in Las Vegas on Dec. 17. Theyre 2-0 against Big Ten schools so far.INJURED BIG MANThomas Welsh, UCLAs 7-foot center, was a late scratch from the starting lineup with a bruised right knee hurt in practice. Its not serious, but hes questionable for Wednesdays game. G.G. Goloman, a junior from Hungary, earned his first career start in Welshs place and fouled out with six points and two rebounds in 10 minutes. Welsh averages 11.1 points and 9.6 rebounds.NEW `DOBall showed up with a new haircut, considerably shorter than his old style.Its just time to start over, press the re-set button, he said. I had it like this in high school a long time.FACES IN THE CROWDActor Vince Vaughn waved a blue-and-gold pompom, former UCLA coach Steve Lavin and former Bruins star Baron Davis were among the first sellout crowd of the season.

Scott Baldwin has warned Wales to expect a wounded beast when South Africa arrive in Cardiff on a face-saving mission next weekend.While woeful Wales played a get-out-of-jail card courtesy of Sam Davies late drop-goal to beat Japan 33-30 on Saturday, the Springboks floundered in Florence, being defeated by Italy for the first time in Test match history.Wales hooker Baldwin said: South Africa are going to come here as a wounded beast. But it is also a kick up the backside for us, and we know we have to put in a much better shift next week to get a result.If you look at our game against Australia (Wales lost 32-8 a fortnight ago) when we left with our tail between our legs, we fronted up against Argentina the following week, and I think that is what they (South Africa) will be trying to do.Last time they came here in 2014 we got a result, and it is on us to do it again. The ambition is there, but for some reason we are just not clicking.In fairness to the coaches, we are doing a lot of skill work in training, a lot of off-load work, skills under pressure and stuff like that, and as players we have got to look at ourselves in how we control the game when we are on the pitch.When the whistle goes at 2.30pm it is up to us to manage the game, and we need to manage it better. It was a disappointing game in nearly every aspect.Bizarrely, given their dismal form, victory over the Springboks would mean Wales winning three out of four autumn Tests this season, which is a feat they have not accomplished since 2002.We probably wont forget the Australia game and how much of a bad loss that was, Baldwin added. But it would probably be a satisfying autumn, I wouldnt say a good one.So bad were the Springboks that South African Rugby president Mark Alexander released a hard-hitting statement after the game, when he highlighted deeply worrying aspects of performances this year that have also included aa record home loss against New Zealand and a 30-point thumping by England.ddddddddddddThe whole of South African rugby is extremely disappointed with this years Springbok results and deeply worrying aspects of the performances, Alexander said, in a statement posted on the official SA Rugby website.It has not been good enough, and no-one is pretending otherwise. It would be easy to lay the blame for that at one door or another and look for scapegoats, but it would also be an oversimplification.All of us within South African rugby need to look at ourselves and ask what we could have done differently in aid of the Springbok cause. Those questions will be asked at the end of the season when we will undertake a full review of the year and what new interventions may be needed to turn things around.We have a Test against Wales on Saturday, and then we will review the season and spend time determining a path for the future.If South Africa want to seek any consolation this week, though, it can probably be found in the fact that Wales look equally poor.Had Test rookie Davies not come up trumps 10 seconds from time, Wales would have been held at home by a team world-ranked five places below them before kick-off and who were without a number of leading players.Japan matched their highest points total against Wales and shared the try-count 3-3 as they displayed a superior attacking outlook to opponents devoid of ideas and lacking composure.Wales interim head coach Rob Howley was not alone in his opinion that the best team lost. A Wales starting XV containing seven British and Irish Lions Test players led Japan 14-6 and 24-13, but still could not avoid a nerve-shredding finale that saw former world junior player of the year Davies deliver the goods for a 73,000 crowd.
