UCLA saw the future on Thursday night against Stanford, and the future is now.
On back-to-back plays, the Bruins' star freshmen shone bright: First, center Reeves Nelson wrestled his way for a gritty offensive rebound and converted a layup, then forward Tyler Honeycutt swatted a shot on the other end.
The future is now, and for the night, the future is sweet.
Honeycutt finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists and Nelson had a team-high 18 points as UCLA hit clutch free throws down the stretch to fend off the Cardinal 77-73 on Thursday night at Pauley Pavilion that put the Bruins in a four-way tie for first in the Pacific-10 Conference.
"I know there was a newspaper article out there today saying I should do it all," Honeycutt said. "I love to rebound, I love to pass, I love to score."
