The Spokesman-Review

Derek Raivio, Gonzaga

The Bulldogs point guard pushed the action from the start, creating scoring opportunities and putting in 10 points as the Zags led 42-29 at halftime. Raivio was 3 of 5 from the field, including 2 of 3 from beyond the 3-point line. His last 3-pointer closed the scoring for GU in the first half.

Raivio also played a key role in disrupting the UCLA offense. The Bruins hit just 7 of 27 shots from the field (25.9 percent). The Bruins did hit 13 of 15 free throws to keep the score respectable.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, UCLA

The 6-foot-7 freshman from Yaounde, Cameroon, scored the winning layup on an assist from Jordan Farmar with 10 seconds left. The basket, coming off a steal by Farmar, capped an 11-0 run to complete the comeback.

Mbah a Moute had just four points in the first half, but scored 10 in the second half, including six of the Bruins’ last 11 points. After scoring the winning basket he raced down the court and stole the ball from Derek Raivio.
