LOS ANGELES -- No. 2 UCLA has started the second half with a successful possession that ended in an easy flush for junior forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, and junior guard-forward combo Josh Shipp has just pushed the Bruins' lead up to 51-37 after canning a three-pointer from the left wing and then taking a Kevin Love outlet pass and stuffing home a breakaway dunk that's got the Pauley Pavilion faithful in high spirits once again.

While the Bruins have made some mistakes the last few possessions in turning the ball over, the Colonials have yet to take advantage and capitalize on UCLA's mistakes and that could prevent Karl Hobbs' team from getting back in this game.

Shipp, in the meantime, continues his hot shooting from deep, hitting another three from nearly the same spot as before to put UCLA up, 54-37, with still more than 15 minutes remaining in the game.
