The Vandals probably played their best games
of the season against UCLA losing both by one
point margins, 69-68 and 64-63. In the opening
game UCLA had to come from behind to defeat
Idaho in an overtime game. Idaho led at half
time 33-24 and was sparked mostly by McEwen's
scoring spree. The Bruins began a full court press
and finally caught Idaho. McEwen led the Vandals,
scoring 22 points. Jorgenson hit for 14 and
Damiano dropped in 12. Damiano played a terrific
game controlling the boards throughout most
of the game. Both games were played without
Simmons and Coach Hodges.
Idaho while losing at half-time fought back
the last two quarters and fought it down to the
last buzzer. Wilson led Vandal scoring with
18 points followed by McEwen with 12, Branom
and Coleman had 10. Idaho was hampered
throughout the whole game by inconsistent shooting
at the free throw line.
