  27-11-2024 06:29 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — At a UCLA practice last week, Coach Mick Cronin explained that he believes his Bruins don’t have a clear cut best player. It’s a strength, he said then. He, however, followed that statement by saying that program outsiders might place forward Tyler Bilodeau atop the totem pole.
  That might be true, as Bilodeau entered Tuesday night leading the team in scoring with 15.5 points per game, but as he struggled to find the bottom of the net against Southern Utah, that st

  27-11-2024 06:50 via ocregister.com
  
  PHOENIX — In its brief two-season history, NBA Cup games have typically been when the Lakers are at their best.
  Their collective focus is dialed up, understanding the stakes for the In-Season Tournament – including a $500,000-plus cash prize for each player on the Cup-winning team.
  This typically was most evident defensively, with the Lakers, a team that has generally struggled on that end of the court over the last couple of seasons, raising their energy and physicality multiple lev

  He doesn’t conjure these teachings out of thin air. Most have been passed along and he speaks fondly of those mentors who have guided him. Bob Huggins, whom Cronin shared a bench with when he w

  The Lakers entered Tuesday night’s NBA Cup Group Play matchup against the Phoenix Suns losing the minutes when LeBron James and Anthony Davis were on the court together.

  LOS ANGELES — The rivalry, slowly, was melting into a vat of sheer offensive sludge. Dreams of reclaiming the Victory Bell, on a cool Saturday night in Pasadena, were on their last gasp by the fourth quarter. On the sidelines, underneath his headset, USC coach Lincoln Riley sensed his program needed a spark.
  So on a second down, trailing by four with eight minutes left against UCLA, Riley called a play they had repped in practice only a couple of times.
