But let him react, let him play on instinct, and he can do just about anything. UCLA coach Steve Lavin Steve Lavin (born September 4,1964), a San Francisco, California native is a former college basketball coach and current ABC and ESPN TV analyst. As UCLA head basketball coach from 1996-2003, Lavin compiled a record of 145-78. calls Bailey's instinctive state, ``getting lost in the game.'' By that definition, Bailey was so lost Sunday at Washington he couldn't have found the game with the Hubble Telescope See Hubble Space Telescope. . Bailey recovered from early foul trouble and a scoreless first half to deliver one of the greatest performances in UCLA history - scoring 32 points in the second half to tie Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 31-year-old school record for points in a half. Bailey made 13 of 17 shots, hit 75 percent of his 3-pointers, and added four assists and three steals. ``What did Toby have, 25 points?'' Kris Johnson asked in the locker room after Washington's 95-94 victory. No, he had 32. ``Thirty-two! Tobe, you had 32? That's crazy.'' And the Bruins can thank Washington junior guard Donald Watts Donald Watt may refer to:
``Watts was staring at him after every shot,'' J.R. Henderson said. ``I said, `Toby, he's staring you down.' And Toby said, `Yeah, he is staring at me.' The light turned on right then and there.'' Bailey, usually unflappable, responded to Watts' challenge with rare ire. ``It really got me going. I'm not going to let the youngster stare at me,'' he said. Of course, he had the energy to do something about it. Foul trouble kept the tireless Bailey on the bench for eight minutes of the first half. When the second half started, he was just warming up. He slashed past Watts and through the Washington defense for layup after layup. Bailey rarely uses his left hand when he penetrates, but the Huskies couldn't force him left. He was too quick, too strong. When they clogged the lane, he buried several mid-range jumpers and three 3-pointers, including one from 25 feet with 1:15 left. ``I was fresher than everybody else,'' he said. ``My teammates were giving me the ball, that was the key. They saw I was hot.'' Bailey is UCLA's best clutch player, but Sunday he played the final 20 minutes like they were the last two. ``I usually get that feeling in the last part of games, like Stanford and USC An abbreviation for U.S. Code. ,'' he said. ``But I got it earlier (Sunday) because we were in a desperation situation.'' |
