WITHOUT FARMAR, BRUINS JUST HOLD ON UCLA 73, ALBANY 65.Byline: Vincent Bonsignore Staff Writer The UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles UCLA University Center for Learning Assistance (Illinois State University) UCLA University of Carrollton, TX and Lower Addison, TX student section does a roll call before every home basketball game at Pauley Pavilion Edwin W.

On Tuesday, Jordan Farmar Jordan Robert Farmar (born November 30, 1986) is an American professional basketball player at starting point guard for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers. He was previously the starting point guard for the UCLA men's basketball team. was a noticeable omission from the pregame ritual as part of a day of confusion for the sophomore point guard as to the severity of a foot injury. Farmar initially feared that he had a stress fracture stress fracture n.

But another MRI on Tuesday showed he had nothing more than a sprained ankle A sprained ankle, also known as a ankle sprain, ankle injury or ankle ligament injury, is a common medical condition where one or more of the ligaments of the ankle is torn or partially torn. . Farmar sat out UCLA's 73-65 victory over Albany, and said after the game that he would probably get another MRI to make sure, possibly as soon as today. Aaron Afflalo had 22 points to lead UCLA (5-1) on Tuesday, but it took a final-minute push for the Bruins to get past scrappy Albany. Farmar has already had a problem with his right leg, suffering a sprained right ankle 12 days ago against Temple. A subsequent X-ray did not reveal any significant damage to the ankle, and after missing the Bruins game against Delaware State he returned last week to play in the Preseason NIT A measurement of luminance.

But Farmar complained after both games in New York of more pain in the right foot, prompting the MRIs. Freshman Darren Collison drew the start at point guard against Albany and scored 10 points, including a 3-pointer with 1:26 to play to give UCLA a 70-62 lead. The speedy newcomer was a key figure in the Bruins' recruiting class, but he was looked upon as an understudy to Farmar coming into the season. Collison played a prominent role for the Bruins against Albany, scoring eight points on a pair of 3-pointers and a floater Floater A bond or other type of debt whose coupon rate changes with market conditions (short-term interest rates). Also known as "floating-rate debt". Notes: For example, a floater bond may have the coupon rate set at "T-bill rate plus 0.5%". in the paint over the final seven minutes of the first half. Another option at the point could be Cedric Bozeman, who sat out all of last year with a right knee injury. Bozeman was the starting point guard until suffering the knee injury, but with Farmar emerging as a force last year, the plan for Bozeman coming into this season was as a utility player. Bozeman has scored in double figures in all five games this season, and on defense he's played every position but center. If UCLA coach Ben Howland opts for experience during Farmar's absence, Bozeman could slide back to point. Bozeman finished with 16 points Tuesday. The Bruins obviously missed Farmar against an Albany team they were expected to easily control. It didn't quite work that way, especially after UCLA surrendered 16 straight points over the final four minutes of the first half to nearly wipe out a 19-point lead. Any thoughts of an easy UCLA win pretty much vanished along with the big lead. Albany, growing more and more confident after ending the first half on such a surge, outscored UCLA 11-5 to start the second half to take a 44-43 lead with 15:34 remaining. A pair of 3-pointers by Bozeman and Afflalo on successive possessions gave the Bruins a 51-46 lead with 12 minutes remaining, but despite extending that lead to 59-50 with nine minutes left, the Bruins still couldn't shake the Great Danes. In fact, UCLA led by only five points heading into the final two minutes after Brent Wilson's deep 3-pointer made it 67-62. Collison followed with a 3-pointer to give UCLA a 70-62 cushion, but Albany's Jon Iati answered with a 3-pointer to make it 70-65 with 1:11 left.
