UCLA has talented freshmen, experienced returners and a veteran coach, but what might set the 16th-ranked Bruins apart this season is their versatility.They went from making 18 3-pointers in a 119-80 win over Pacific in the opener last week to attacking the basket when perimeter shots werent falling in a 102-87 victory over Cal State Northridge in their second game Sunday.UCLA (2-0) hosts San Diego (0-2) at 11 p.m. ET Thursday night. The Toreros, who have lost to San Diego State and Samford, dont know how UCLA will attack them, but they know the Bruins will likely be potent.When the Bruins struggled in the first half against Northridge, trailing 42-40 at halftime, UCLA coach Steve Alford urged his team to attack the basket more instead of settle for 3-point attempts. The tactic resulted in a 62-point second half in which the Bruins shot 58.8 percent and scored 30 points in the paint.At halftime, its what coach was drilling us about, just being able to take the ball hard to the basket and being aggressive, said UCLA junior center Thomas Welsh, who had 10 points and 13 rebounds.UCLA made 5 of 16 3-pointers and took just six shots from beyond the arc in the second half, a contrasting style to when it attempted 30 3-pointers and made the school-record 18 against Pacific.Two different styles. Two games with more than 100 points.UCLAs starting backcourt of Isaac Hamilton (22 points against Northridge) and Bryce Alford (15 of his 20 points in the second half) is an experienced complement to freshman standouts Lonzo Ball (13 points, eight rebounds and six assists) and T.J. Leaf (22 points and 15 rebounds against Pacific).San Diego is coming off an 83-65 loss at home against Samford on Sunday. The Toreros gave UCLA a scare last year, losing 75-68 at Pauley Pavilion. They will be hard-pressed to make that kind of threat to the Bruins again.The Toreros like to shoot the 3-pointer, like UCLA, but they made only 9 of 29 attempts against Samford. They tried seven fewer field goals within the arc, failing to solve Samfords 2/3 zone.We settled for way too many threes, said guard Olin Carter III, who led San Diego with 15 points.San Diego coach Lamont Smith, in his second year as head coach at his alma mater, is taking responsibility for how the Toreros struggled to score against Samford.We just didnt execute, he said. And thats on me. I didnt do a good enough (job) of communicating how we should attack their defense.Rebounding is another concern for San Diego, which was beat on the glass 43-29 against Samford. UCLA beat Northridge on the boards 44-31 on Sunday.San Diego point guard Nassir Barrino (14 points) was the only other Torero in double-figure scoring against Samford. He led the Toreros as well with seven rebounds.UCLA had seven players in double figures against Northridge.Two of the best players on San Diegos roster are sitting out this season after transferring. Isaiah Wright is a 6-foot-2 guard out of Utah and Isaiah Pineiro is a 6-6 wing from Portland State.While San Diego is struggling to find itself, the greatest concern for Steve Alford is finding a definitive leader among his array of talent at UCLA.Some of the guys arent fully there, fully following what weve got to do, said Alford, who expects Hamilton and his son Bryce Alford to eventually fill that leadership role. I just need them to be more vocal, whether its in their personality or not, because were a fairly quiet team.Were great guys. Were just quiet. And I need somebody to rile them up a little bit.

The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. Utah, coming off a disheartening loss at Cal, takes on one of its most problematic opponents this Saturday.The Utes (4-1 overall, 1-1 Pac-12) play host to Arizona at Rice-Eccles Stadium trying to end a four-game losing streak to the Wildcats. Arizona won 37-30 in double overtime last season when Utah was ranked No. 10.For whatever reason, we have probably executed as well against them as with any team weve played, both home and away, Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said.Our guys have been dialed in, and, particularly up there, weve gotten turnovers. Some of that is luck and some of that was good play, but to beat them you have to get turnovers. If we dont get any turnovers this game, were going to have a tough time.Arizona (2-3, 0-2) might be down to its third starting quarterback of the season. Anu Solomon hasnt played since suffering a knee injury in practice after the season-opener. His replacement, Brandon Dawkins, left last weeks 45-24 loss at UCLA in the first half because of a rib injury. Rodriguez, as of Tuesday, had not commented on the severity of either injury.He pulled true freshman Khalil Tate out of a redshirt year in the second half, and the four-star, dual-threat recruit looked sharp, completing 5 of 9 passes for 72 yards and two touchdowns and rushing 15 times for a team-high 79 yards.Sometimes, guys get in their first action and the lights are too bright, but he was spot on, Rodriguez said. Even when he made a wrong read or something, he knew right away. That part of it was very encouraging.Utah is trying to bounce back from a 28-23 loss at Cal, where the Utes were stopped at the goal line as time expired.Taking care of Arizona would restore Utahs hope of winning what appears to be a wide-open Pac-12 South race, led by surprising Colorado at 2-0. The Utes defense, Whittinghams bread and butter, faces an Arizona team that has the No. 2 running game in the Pac-12 at 246 yards per game.Utah defended the run well last year in Tucson, allowing Arizona only 158 yards, but it has had problems with Rodriguezs up-tempo, zone-read, spread offense. Utah has allowed an average of 269 rushing yards in its four-game skid to the Wildcats.Weve been watching the last four years of film and last year, we did the best job, but they have gashed us, said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham.ddddddddddddStructurally, theres only so much you can do with how many guys are in the box. Its a lot like playing Air Force. Its assignment football with the read option, and were just going to have to do a better job of playing assignment football.Injuries could play a key role Saturday.In addition to Arizonas uncertain quarterback position, starting running back Nick Wilson has only eight carries in the past three games because of an ankle injury. The tailback spot is so decimated that Tyrell Johnson, converted from slot receiver two weeks ago, had 16 carries vs. UCLA.The Wildcats were also down three starting offensive linemen in the second half against the Bruins, and at least two starters on defense.Utah, meanwhile, played against Cal without standout defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei and receiver Cory Butler-Byrd. The Utes also lost leading receiver Tim Patrick, center J.J. Dielman, cornerback Reggie Porter and receiver Kyle Fulks during the game.Dielman, a team captain and 2015 all-conference honoree, is lost for the season with a lower leg injury.Per his policy, Whittingham didnt offer any other updates on injured players during the weekly press conference.Utahs best path to victory might be to attack a smallish Arizona defense on the ground. The Utes by-committee approach includes true freshman Zack Moss and sophomore Armand Shyne. Moss has team highs of 66 carries and 309 yards, despite not playing in the season opener against Southern Utah.The physical approach in the run game helps open things up for quarterback Troy Williams, who is one of only two Pac-12 quarterbacks this season with six completions of 40 yards or longer. He has not thrown an interception in Pac-12 games against USC and Cal.Utah stayed in the Top 25 after its loss last week and now it will be trying to stay in the Pac-12 South race.I dont think anyone in the division is going to go undefeated. Its very competitive, Whittingham said.Two losses should win it, and we have seen it happen with three losses. The bottom line is that our destiny is still in our hands and theres a ton of football left so we have to find a way to beat Arizona. ' ' '
