He also scored 1 1 points. "Their half-court defense and their full-court press really disrupted our offense," Parker said. "We told our team ASU would have (scoring) spurts. It got out of hand." The Trojans had 22 turnovers and all but four were in the first half. "Without question, their press bothered us.

You can't, as a team, commit 18 turnovers against a good team and expect to win. With three guards on the floor, we thought we could handle it," Parker said. Capers did most of the ball handling. He had six assists at was on the line, we were sharp and made defensive plays."

"There's a lot of disappointment right now, because the one thing we Can't do is lose at home," UA forward I Corey Williams said. "To make it even worse, we didn't even come out and play like the Arizona team that we are. "We let them get out to a good start. We didn't play tough.

We didn't get after them defensively. We didn't intimidate them like we know we I should have." "He wants us to convert on the turnovers, and he wanted to tell me about it," Capers said, smiling. Notes The Sun Devils have lost forward Jimmy Kolyszko. The sophomore is no longer in school and is said to be considering the possibility of enrolling at Scottsdale Community College. The semester there begins next week.

Former USC coach George Raveling made the trip. It was the first time he has seen the team play since stepping down in mid-November.

The senior almost didn't get the chance at the record. Frieder pulled him with fewer than five minutes left because of a behind-the-back pass that didn't work. "I'm really happy for Capers. I was mad at him earlier. I'm a guy who wants to go down the floor and convert, and he's throwing behind his back on a two-on-one.

That's the best way to remind them pull them," Frieder said. Capers had 13 assists at the time and was unaware of the record until he came to the bench. He returned to the court with 1:39 left. was in control with a seven-point lead. "The team that was the most aggressive team won the game," Olson said.

"They were more aggressive at pushing the ball at us in the open court. "The two veterans, (point guard Tyus) Edney and (forward) Ed O'Bannon, really stepped up. They were defending and scoring and rebounding and putting shots down in the clutch." Edney made 5 of 9 shots, 9 of 12 free throws and scored 19 points. He also had five assists and only two turnovers, winning the battle of the point guards. O'Bannon, who had 11 rebounds, made 8 of 21 shots (21 points), but his running hook and 18-foot jumper during a three-minute stretch late in the game cut off UA's momentum.

Guard Toby Bailey gave UCLA a big lift off the bench, grabbing 12 rebounds and scoring nine points. "We just couldn't hit our shots, and I'm not saying they were all great shots," said Williams, who had 10 points off the bench. The Wildcats were just miserable.

"We knew that would help open things up. "But I felt like our defense forced them out of their game. Some of their players were getting frustrated." For instance, Pomona's Tyrone Mcrriweather, who entered the game averaging 16 points and 8.2 rebounds, but who finished with only four points and one board.

It was the first double-digit loss at McKale since Coach Lute Olson's first season at Arizona (1983-84, when UA lost by 12 to Tennessee. It might have been the worst shooting performance ever at home under Olson.

UA shot 32 percent in the first half, Defense keys victory for Idaho State upends N. Arizona and it didn't get much better after that. It ended up shooting 35 percent. Had they shot halfway decent, the Wildcats would have overcome the Bruins, who shot 30 percent in the second half and still won by 10. "We're not very deep, it's obvious," Olson said.

"That hurts us. It's a case of where everybody has to step up." With freshman guard Miles Simon out for possibly the rest of the regular season because of a dislocated finger, the Wildcats have no other point guard when Stoudamire is out of the game. Reggie Geary moves to the point, but, despite his eight assists, he looked out of position, especially playing with a sprained ankle. Just when UA had closed to within four, Geary's pass inside went right in the hands of UCLA guard Cameron Dollar, who was fouled at the other end by Ray Owes to prevent an easy layup. It cost Owes his fourth foul, and Dollar made both free throws to give the Bruins a 48-43 lead with 9:55 left.

Owes, who had 14 points, fouled out with 2:32 left. By then, UCLA need to play it. They rotated and they communicated. You do that and you give yourself a good chance to win." The Antelopes (8-7, 2-1 California Collegiate Athletic Association) hounded the Broncos into an abysmal shooting night, a night in which the visitors clanked shot after shot. When it was over, Cal Poly-Pomona (13-4, 1-2) had made only 24 of 74 shots (32.4 percent).
