Bruins can't go big, so they go home losers against Arizona State TEMPE, Ariz. - Jordan Bachynski, Arizona State's big-lug-of-a-Canadian, was as good a place as any to start. There was so much Arizona State did right, and so much UCLA did wrong, at the Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday. But where you could hang the Sun Devils' 78-60 victory was from Bachynski's 7-foot-2 frame. It could be argued, at least Saturday, that Bachynski was as even better Canadian import to the Phoenix area than NHL hockey. "I never heard of the guy," UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad said. He was huge. Literally and figuratively. The Sun Devils found UCLA's weakness - not that it required a Where's Waldo-like search - and exploited it. The Bruins found that living in the past, even if it was only Thursday, was a bad way to travel around the Pac-12 Conference. Bachynski was the difference maker. He had 22 points, 15 rebounds and six blocked shots. It underscored again the Bruins' woes against teams with a strong inside presence. "I told our guys last night, that kid is going to make a lot of money playing basketball," UCLA Coach Ben Howland said. He blocked two or three shots and we kept testing him and he kept blocking them. We got to learn. The Bruins (16-5 overall, 6-2 in Pac-12 play) were tutored in so many subjects. The intensity that fueled UCLA's victory over sixth-ranked Arizona on Thursday apparently stayed in Tucson. The Bruins trailed only 39-33 at halftime, but it seemed like they might collapse at any moment. The Sun Devils (16-4, 5-2) stretched that lead to 14 four minutes into the second half. The Sun Devils schooled UCLA right to the end. As the seconds wound down, Arizona State's Evan Gordon was casually dribbling out the clock. Jordan Adams knocked took the ball away and raced up court. "I was taught to play right up to the end," Adams said. Arizona State's Carrick Felix did, hustling back to block Adams' layup at the buzzer. It was the exclamation point. "There was no motivation," Muhammad said. We got such great win [Thursday]. Everyone was so satisfied. Everyone was happy. We didn't look forward to this game as much. We've got to learn, as players, even when you get big wins, you've got to win the ones you really need. Excuses were not applicable. True, the Bruins were without forward Travis Wear, their third-leading scorer. It shortened an already thin bench, leaving UCLA with only seven scholarship players. But it would be hard to say fatigue was an issue. Arizona State went overtime to beat USC on Thursday, a game that ended after 11 p.m. And four Sun Devils played at least 38 minutes against the Bruins. All looked fresh at the end.
