USC coach Tim Floyd was in no mood to talk about the discrepancy in foul shooting between UCLA and USC. The Bruins went to the line 31 times (compared to only five for the Trojans) in their victory over their cross-town rival. Floyd was batting back reporters inquiries, even going to the Drew Rosenhaus staple, "Next question." The interview was kind of weird to witness. Watching the game, it didn't seem like the free throws were that uneven based on the style of play of both teams. But the stat really jumps out at you in the box score, even though UCLA was going to the line at the end of the game as USC was trying to come back. Don't let Floyd's display take away from UCLA's play down the stretch. The Bruins just seemed to make the plays when it counted, while USC kind of folded down the stretch. Having Taj Gibson foul out down the stretch certainly didn't help. (Hmm, no wonder Floyd was so pissed.) But there wasn't a guy on the floor who could cover Darren Collison in the man-to-man defense.
Overall, good win for the Bruins. Both games have been close this season, but you still get a feeling that USC has a little bit further to go.
