Lack of firepower haunts ISU against No. 13 UCLA

Sycamores shoot 31.7 percent from field

Todd Golden The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Sat Nov 10, 2012, 05:26 AM EST

LOS ANGELES — The will on the part of the Indiana State men’s basketball was there. So was the execution at times, even as six Sycamores made their debut against No. 13 UCLA.

The shots, however, never materialized.

ISU never got into an offensive flow against the defensive-minded Bruins. ISU shot 31.7 percent from the field and paid a heavy price for the misses as the Bruins won 86-59 in Pauley Pavilion’s re-christening.

“Sometimes that’s the way it goes,” said ISU point guard Jake Odum on ISU’s poor shooting. “When things like that happen, you can’t let it affect your defense. In the first half, we didn’t. But in the second half, we did.”

Justin Gant and Khristian Smith co-led ISU with 11 points. Manny Arop added 10. Gant also had eight rebounds. Jordan Adams led the Bruins with 21 points. David Wear had 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The shooting woes ISU experienced were felt in myriad ways. The Sycamores were 5 of 26 from 3-point range, including 1 of 11 in the first half.

UCLA is renowned for its defensive prowess under coach Ben Howland, but even he couldn’t credit his team’s defense completely for ISU’s shooting woes.

“Indiana State had some open looks that they missed. They were 5 of 26 from 3-point range. I don’t think we can take all of the credit for that,” UCLA coach Ben Howland said.

ISU (0-1) was 16 of 26 at the free throw line, but was 4 of 10 in a close first half where the misses really hurt.

Despite the shooting woes, Lansing saw things he liked. Given how many new players the Sycamores had on the floor, and how well UCLA plays defense, offensive ball movement and spacing was solid.

“I saw more positive than negative,” Lansing said. “Our shooting percentages were terrible. I know we’re a better shooting team than that. I think we’ll be OK there.”

Withering defense by both teams made it tough for the Sycamores or Bruins to get any traction. Gant had the honor of making the first bucket in the new Pauley Pavilion – a 3-pointer at 17:11 – but there was little else for either team.

It was 11-all at the 10-minute mark when ISU broke through and took a 14-11 lead with 9:19 left in the half on a R.J. Mahurin three-point play. UCLA answered right back with an and-1 of its own by Norman Powell to tie it five seconds later.

The Powell three-point play kick-started a 9-0 UCLA run. ISU’s troubles at the line became most acute at this juncture of the game. Arop and Devonte Brown both had empty trips to the line, which prevented ISU from gaining momentum.

Despite that, ISU hung in there. Mahurin had a chance to pull ISU within one at the 4:11 mark, but missed a free throw. The Sycamores would shoot 4 of 10 at the line in the first half.

UCLA (1-0) finished the strong thanks to a questionable no-call when Jake Odum appeared to be tripped just after the three-minute mark. Tyler Lamb was able to steal the ball on the no-call and went to the line.

He made one and missed the second, but UCLA rebounded and fed Jordan Adams for a floater. After an Arop 3-point miss, Lamb hit an open 3-pointer in the corner to put the Bruins up 33-23. UCLA would lead by nine at the break.

Odum brushed off the notion that the no-call might have been the play that turned the game.

“I couldn’t really tell what happened. I should have been handling the ball better. It’s the way it goes. When something like that happens, we need to turn around and get a bucket the next time down the floor, not worry about the turnover,” Odum said.

The Sycamores’ shooting woes carried into the second half. ISU missed five of its first six shots from the field to start the half and the Bruins would build their lead to 16 just over five minutes into the half.

“We let some missed shots and negative plays affect us on the defensive end too much in the second half. You can’t let a negative play or adversity affect you and get you quiet. We did that a little too much. It’s the biggest thing we’ll have to work on and get through,” Lansing said.

UCLA’s lead peaked at 19, but the Sycamores gave themselves a glimmer of hope at the 7:25 mark. A Khristian Smith 3-pointer and Arop layup made it 63-52.

But the mini-comeback couldn’t negate ISU’s critical foul trouble. Jake Kitchell fouled out with 9:57 left, while Gant and Mahurin both played with four fouls. UCLA pulled away in the final seven minutes, finishing the game on a 21-7 run. The Bruins shot 41 free throws and made 28 of them.

“Foul trouble hurt us. Kitch fouled out. R.J. and I played with four fouls. It’s hard to be as aggressive when you have four fouls. You can’t attack on defense as much as you want to,” Gant said.

ISU plays its home opener on Tuesday as it hosts Winthrop.

INDIANA STATE (59) – Kitchell 1-1 0-0 2, Arop 4-13 2-2 10, Gant 4-11 2-6 11, Cummings 1-8 0-0 2, Odum 1-5 4-4 6, Eitel 2-2 0-0 6, De. Brown 0-1 2-4 2, R. Smith 0-0 0-0 0, Burnett 0-1 0-0 0, Mahurin 2-10 5-8 9, K. Smith 4-8 1-2 11. 19-60 FG, 16-26 FT, 59 TP.

• Bradley ends 16-game MVC losing streak against ISU

• ISU baseball team builds on success with 14-2 rout

  Indiana State’s baseball victory over Alcorn State on Friday would take on more meaning Saturday if the Sycamores could build momentum and pick up on the good work they did in Friday’s ninth-inning rally.
  Mission accomplished.
  The Sycamores were aggressive from the opening inning at the plate and starting pitcher Devin Moore gave them eight valuable and effective innings on the mound as ISU defeated Alcorn State 14-2 at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a really good experience for everybody. It felt great to finally come out here and put some things together. It’s also really nice when your offense puts a lot of runs on the board,” Moore said.
  Moore’s eight innings of work were as valuable as gold to an ISU team that is short on quality arms due to injury and ineffectiveness. He didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning and one of the two runs he conceded was unearned.

• ISU earns badly-needed win

  Alcorn State’s baseball team might be ranked in the bottom 10 in RPI and Indiana State might have never lost to a Southwestern Athletic Conference team. So it wouldn’t appear that a quality win was in the offing when Alcorn State visited Bob Warn Field on Friday.

  Pole vault is track and field for the adrenaline junkie, Indiana State senior Nicole Hope proclaimed during a recent practice at Marks Field.
  To catapult oneself about 14 feet into the air with a large $500 fiberglass pole on a daily basis is a risky endeavor.
  “We have to be fearless. You can’t be afraid at all,” said Hope, who has also catapulted herself into the NCAA’s elite in the event, ranking 15th in the NCAA with her leap of 13-feet, 9 1/4.

• Lansing looking for more home games for next fall

  Indiana State’s men’s basketball team is looking for a few good games.
  Home games that is.
  The Sycamores have filled in most of the blanks in their nonconference schedule, but as ever, ISU coach Greg Lansing would like to visit the friendly confines of Hulman Center a bit more often.

• ISU baseball gets back into rhythm with victory

  Baseball is a rhythm game. With contests every day or five times a week in the case of many college programs, you have the chance to build on success or wallow in a slump.
  Mother Nature took that rhythm away from Indiana State’s team last week. After a 7-1 loss to Indiana on April 24, ISU was supposed to play a three-game series at Tennessee-Martin, but it was wiped out by rain.
  So the rhythm was disturbed, but perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing.
  ISU was in a five-game losing streak before its unintended vacation and the Sycamores made a move in the right direction Wednesday with a 7-0 win over DePauw at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a disappointing weekend. We went all the way down to Tennessee and didn’t get to play. We sat around in the hotel room. We came here and it was still raining. It was nice to get out and see some live pitching,” ISU center fielder Landon Curry said.

  Most of the ISU teams are still in competition with the baseball team having 13 games left of its regular-season schedule before beginning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament May 21, the softball team with just three games left of the docket this coming weekend against Southern Illinois and the track and field program with just one more meet before beginning its postseason events.
  The ISU women’s golf team is the team that has ended at this time, with the group recording a sixth-place finish at the MVC championships one week ago.

• Indiana State loses 2 in MVC softball

  Indiana State aspired to upset Illinois State to get at least a doubleheader split in Missouri Valley Conference softball Thursday at Price Field as the Sycamores opened an eight-game season-ending homestand.
  Paige Schreiner hit a two-run blast over the left-field fence in the fifth inning and junior Shelby Wilson delivered a sizzling RBI triple down the right-field line in the sixth as ISU ended the day playing well against the league’s highest-scoring offense.
  The result was still a 5-3 loss to the Redbirds (26-18, 11-6 Missouri Valley Conference) as freshman Halle Humphrey gave up four runs in the first two innings. Humphrey, called upon to pitch the opener as well — she’s the only full-time pitcher remaining on the team — gave up six runs and eight hits as the Sycamores dropped a 6-1 game to start the day.

  In the immediate aftermath of a practice, game, or in Friday’s case for Indiana State, a scrimmage, most football coaches defer to the film to paint a true picture of what was and wasn’t done.

• Stealing records: ISU softball’s offense gaining momentum

  The Indiana State softball offense is no juggernaut, but the fog may be clearing on a program that has had a long history of struggles with few signs of consistent winning.
  Explosive, dedicated athletes like Morgan Allee and Megan Stone are two reasons to believe this group of Sycamores can spark a turnaround.
  The Sycamores are scoring an average of 3.1 runs per game while also ranking in the middle of the Missouri Valley Conference pack in hits and batting average. But the Sycamores are on pace to break the school record for on-base percentage as they lead the MVC in walks, hit-by-pitches, sacrifice bunts and stolen bases.
  Allee, with 17 regular-season games to go, broke the school record for stolen bases in a season Tuesday against IUPUI and is among the 10 best in the NCAA. Her total of 30 makes up almost half of ISU’s 74.
  “I’m so big [that] they think I won’t go. It works out well,” the stocky shortstop said.

• ISU’s QB battle

  Quarterback battles come in all shapes and sizes, but one could forgive Indiana State’s Mike Perish, Robert Tonyan Jr. and Trent Lancaster if they feel a bit more beleaguered than your average signal-caller.
  Not only is the trio fighting for the right to be named ISU’s starter by the Sycamores’ football opener Aug. 29 at Indiana University, but all three also are trying to learn a new offense, they’re acclimating themselves to new coach Mike Sanford’s different way of running things, and they’re trying to maintain harmony amongst each other, so whoever the ultimate winner is can effectively lead the team without angst.
  All of it is playing out during ISU’s spring practice, and so far, none of the quarterback candidates have separated themselves from the pack.
