STANFORD, Calif. — Coming out of halftime trailing Stanford by eight points, UCLA men’s basketball was looking to do what it has done so many times this season: outperform its opponent en route to a win. Instead the Bruins were met with something they have never seen before.
With 16:06 left in the game, Stanford junior guard Chasson Randle dribbled down the court on a fast break and tossed a lob to redshirt junior guard/forward Anthony Brown. But rather than finishing the alley-oop, Brown, in midair, threw a second lob to senior forward Dwight Powell, who slammed the ball home emphatically, converting on the elusive double alley-oop.
With Stanford’s lead at 13, its largest to that point, UCLA took a timeout to regroup and recover but never could, losing the back half of its Bay Area road trip 83-74 on Saturday.
