MICHIGAN DEFEATS UCLA
Michigan recorded a 94-75 win over UCLA in Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday. The Wolverines, making their first visit to UCLA since Dec. 10, 2016, registered the most points by the opposition in Pauley Pavilion since the Bruins (ranked No. 3) dropped a 96-85 decision to No. 14 Arizona on Jan. 21, 2017.

DECEMBER SUMMARY
– Prior to the win over Gonzaga (Dec. 28), UCLA scored a season-high 111 points in an 111-75 win over Prairie View A&M in Pauley Pavilion (Dec. 17). That marked the most points in a game under head coach Mick Cronin in six years at UCLA.
– The Bruins erased a 13-point deficit against Arizona on Saturday, Dec. 14, playing in Phoenix at Footprint Center. UCLA used a 21-5 scoring run in the final 11 minutes of the second half to overcome a 49-36 deficit (UCLA won, 57-54).

BRUINS DEFEAT GONZAGA, 65-62
In a game that featured eight ties and three lead changes, UCLA prevailed against Gonzaga on Saturday, Dec. 28, securing a 65-62 victory at Intuit Dome. Bruins’ guard Skyy Clark was a perfect 4-for-4 at the free throw line in the game’s final 15 seconds. Sebastian Mack converted an old-fashioned 3-point play with 33 seconds left, giving UCLA a 61-60 cushion. After a missed 3-pointer by Gonzaga, Clark corralled the rebound and connected on both free throws to put the Bruins ahead, 63-60. Gonzaga’s Ryan Nembhard made a layup with 8.1 seconds left, drew a foul and missed the ensuing free throw.
 
TALENTED TYLER
Junior Tyler Bilodeau has averaged a team-leading 14.7 points per game and ranks second on the team in rebounding (5.2 rpg). Bilodeau has scored in double figures in 11 of UCLA’s 15 games, having reached the 20-point plateau in three contests. Last month in New York City, he totaled a career-high-tying 26 points in a loss to North Carolina. He has shot 50.3 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from 3-point distance, knocking down at least four 3-pointers in two games. He shot 5-for-6 from long-range in the Bruins’ 76-74 loss to North Carolina at Madison Square Garden (Dec. 21). Bilodeau, a 6-foot-9 forward from Kennewick, Wash., spent his first two collegiate seasons playing for Oregon State.
 
NATIONAL NUMBERS
Through games played on Wednesday, Jan. 8, UCLA ranked No. 10 in the nation in scoring defense (61.5 ppg), No. 5 in turnovers forced per game (17.7) and No. 6 in turnover margin (+6.3). In addition, the Bruins have ranked No. 30 in the nation in scoring margin (14.4 points per game). Looking at shooting percentages, the opposition has shot 41.0 percent against UCLA (No. 80, nationally) and 31.5 percent from 3-point range (No. 118, nationally). The latest national metrics on KenPom.com have listed UCLA at No. 5 in the nation in defensive efficiency and No. 78 in offensive efficiency. Kobe Johnson, averaging 2.07 steals per game, ranks No. 47 in the country in that statistical category.
 
ON DECK, BRUINS AT RUTGERS
UCLA’s road trip on the East Coast will conclude at Rutgers on Monday, Jan. 13, as the Bruins will be playing at Rutgers for the first time in program history. UCLA has gone 2-1 in three prior meetings against Rutgers – with one game at a neutral site (1976 NCAA Tournament), one game in UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion (1979) and one game played in East Rutherford, N.J. in December of 1981. UCLA outlasted Rutgers by a 106-92 margin in the third-place contest of the 1976 Final Four at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. This marks UCLA’s second trip to the East Coast this season, as the Bruins lost to North Carolina, 76-74, in the CBS Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York last month (Saturday, Dec. 21).
 
SKYY’S THE LIMIT
Junior guard Skyy Clark has recorded an assist-turnover ratio of 2.6 through 15 games this season (totaling 39 assists and 15 turnovers). He has committed eight turnovers through the Bruins’ last nine games, spanning nearly 233 minutes. Clark enters UCLA’s game on Friday with the team’s second-highest assist total (39) behind guard Kobe Johnson (50). He registered 11 points, a career-best nine rebounds and a career-high-tying seven assists in a 65-62 win against Gonzaga. Clark scored a season-best 15 points in UCLA’s comeback victory over Arizona on Saturday, Dec. 14, in Phoenix.
 
TOP DEFENDER
Senior guard Kobe Johnson has totaled 187 steals in 106 career games (1.8 spg). He will enter Friday’s game with a team-best 31 steals (Skyy Clark has totaled 23), having registered nearly 2.1 steals per game in 15 contests as a senior. Johnson had six steals in a win over Cal State Fullerton (Nov. 22), the third time in his career he has logged six in a game. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wis., Johnson earned Pac-12 All-Defensive Team honors the past two seasons at USC. Over the previous two seasons (64 games), he averaged 10.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.2 steals per contest while at USC.
 
ON THE DEFENSIVE END
Arizona’s 54 points scored on Saturday, Dec. 14, were the fewest by the Wildcats’ program since Feb. 8, 2020, when UCLA secured a 65-52 win over Arizona at McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz. The 54 points scored by Arizona were the fewest in a game by the Wildcats in head coach Tommy Lloyd’s career in Tucson (now in his fourth season). Arizona was held to its fewest made field goals (19) in 14 games this season (19-for-42, 45.2%). UCLA has limited the opposition to 19 made field goals or fewer in seven of 15 games (Boston University and Southern Utah were held to 14 made shots). Since UCLA’s 57-54 win over Arizona last month, the Wildcats have won five consecutive games (improving to 9-5 overall).
 
ROAD VICTORY IN EUGENE
The Bruins’ 73-71 win at No. 12-ranked Oregon on Sunday, Dec. 8, marked the program’s first road win over a top-20 ranked opponent since No. 16 UCLA won at No. 20 Maryland, 87-60, on Dec. 14, 2022. Prior to the win in 2022, UCLA won at No. 18 Colorado, 70-63, on Feb. 22, 2020 (during a stretch of the year where the Bruins won 11 of 13 games). The Bruins have not played a road game at a top-10 ranked opponent since losing to No. 7 Arizona, 76-66, at the McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz., on Feb. 3, 2022 (the Bruins were ranked No. 3 in the nation heading into that game).
 
NOTES ON PAULEY PAVILION
The Bruins have gone 8-1 in Pauley Pavilion this season, now in their 59th campaign playing in the longtime UCLA basketball venue. Pauley Pavilion opened for the 1965-66 season. The first game in Pauley Pavilion took place on Dec. 3, 1965, as No. 1 UCLA defeated Ohio State, 92-66. UCLA spent 47 seasons in Pauley Pavilion before the venue was closed for an 18-month renovation (closed in March of 2011). UCLA hosted 18 home games during the 2011-12 season at the Los Angeles Sports Arena (14 games) near downtown L.A. and at the Honda Center in Anaheim (four games) before returning to Pauley Pavilion in Nov. 2012. This marks the 13th year in the “new” configuration of Pauley Pavilion.
 
Last year, CSUN snapped UCLA’s 29-home-game winning streak with a 76-72 win over the Bruins (Dec. 19, 2023). Prior to that game, UCLA had not lost at home since an overtime setback (84-81) to Oregon on Jan. 13, 2022. UCLA’s 29-game home streak had been the longest active streak in the country. Since taking over as UCLA’s head coach prior to the 2019-20 season, Mick Cronin has guided the Bruins to a 72-14 record in 86 home games (83.7% win percentage).
 
MINUTES DISTRIBUTION
While it’s nearly halfway through the Bruins’ season (after 15 games), no players on UCLA’s roster have averaged more than 28 minutes per game, as junior Tyler Bilodeau has led the team in minutes (averaging 27.7 mpg). Since UCLA began recording minutes in 1978-79, the Bruins have always had at least one player average 30.0 or more minutes per game (by the end of the year). In 2019-20, then-freshman guard Tyger Campbell finished the year as the Bruins’ leader in minutes per game, at exactly 30.0 mpg. This year’s team has nine players who have averaged at least 10.0 minutes per contest.

The Hoosiers hit .378 for the match and had an 11-2 blocking advantage against the Buffs. The serving pressure wasn’t there like it was against Toledo, but IU played solid defensively and were able to clinch its second Sweet 16 appearance — its other was 15 years ago in 2010.

Candela Alonso-Corcelles led the way with 16 kills with just one error on 27 swings, an efficient .556. Freshman Jaidyn Jager added 15 kills (.375). The middles did plenty of work with Madi Sell having seven blocks and Victoria Gray adding four. Avry Tatum also had five blocks with eight kills. Setter Teodora Krickovic had 29 assists, eight digs and three blocks.

Colorado hit .208 for the match, led by Ana Burilovi’s 19 kills (.239) and an efficient seven on 11 swings for Cayla Payne (.545). But nine service errors did not help the Buffs, particularly with five in the first set.

Former UH volleyball player, youth coach accused of producing child porn

Published

on


HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A former youth volleyball coach who played on the University of Hawaii men’s volleyball team was arrested and charged with production of child pornography, allegedly with a former player.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Hawaii, announced Friday that Elias David, 37, of Waimanalo, was charged by criminal complaint on Dec. 3.

He was employed as a firefighter for the Department of Defense and worked at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Federal Fire Station 9.

According to the criminal complaint filed by the FBI, a 17-year-old told her aunt she was having sexual intercourse with David, who was a family friend and her volleyball coach since she was 13 years old.

Court documents said the teen’s relationship began with David in 2023 after a volleyball trip to Las Vegas. She was 16 at the time.

The teen told investigators that David was providing extra training to prepare her for college. She also admitted to engaging in different types of sexual contact with David that including oral and vaginal sex, documents said.

She also said that their sexual activities occurred at the fire station where he worked, at a nearby warehouse, as well as at David’s home and vehicle, documents said.

David was arrested in July of 2024 for sexual assault in the second degree. He waived his Miranda rights and was interviewed.

During his interview with investigators, David said they “began to develop feelings for each other and ‘fell in love,’” and admitted that he and the teen engaged in a sexual relationship, documents said.

David said that the romantic phase of the relationship began around March 2023, and admitted to ordering ride share services for the teen so she could leave her house to meet him at or near his workplace, documents said.

Investigators said they found 97 graphic videos of the two of them on her phone and 78 emails referring to ride share trips and GPS location data.

David played for the University of Hawaii men’s volleyball team in 2009.

If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in prison.

Iowa State Tops St. Thomas, Advances to Second Round

Published

on


MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – No. 23 Iowa State (23-7, 12-6 Big 12) won in five against St. Thomas (21-10, 11-5 Summit) in the NCAA Championship First Round Friday night. No. 5-seed ISU advances to the second round to meet the winner of No. 4-seed Minnesota vs. Fairfield tomorrow at 7 p.m.

After St. Thomas took the first 25-21, ISU answered outhitting UST .552-.143 in the second to tie up the match with a set score of 25-13. The Cyclones took the match lead after another dominant set score of 25-16, but St. Thomas would win the fourth 25-21 to extend the match to a fifth. ISU used a 7-0 run in the fifth to flip the momentum and seal the victory.

Big 12 Libero of the Year Rachel Van Gorp was her usual self and had her third-straight match with 20 or more digs, ending the night with a career-high 33. The total is the second-most in an NCAA Tournament match by a Cyclone, and most since 2012. It was also match No. 35 in a row with double-figure digs and her 50th-career match in double figures.

Iowa State had a dominant night at the service line, serving to the fourth 10-plus ace match this season, and 28th of Christy Johnson-Lynch‘s career with 12 through the night. ISU was led by Nayeli Ti’a with five aces to tie the NCAA Tournament school record, while Van Gorp had four, now the second-most in a tournament match.

Alea Goolsby had her 15th match this season with 10-plus kills, leading ISU with 15. Ti’a delivered 14 kills for her 13th match this season with 10-plus, and Lilly Wachholz (12) and Amiree Hendricks-Walker (10) made for four in double figures.

SET ONE

At 6-6, Morgan Brandt tricked St. Thomas with a setter kill while Tierney Jackson served up an ace but UST followed to again knot the score. The Tommies flipped the lead at 11-10 and took the next two as Iowa State called the first timeout. Ti’a slammed down her second kill out of the timeout, but St. Thomas kept with the lead reaching 20 first (20-17). ISU cut its deficit to one at 22-21, but the Tommies ended the first on a run of three for the set win.

SET TWO

Ti’a had a no-doubt kill to make it 1-1, while the Tommies denied ISU the lead while going up 4-2. Goolsby’s third kill tied it, and the Cyclones took their first lead at 6-5 on a block. UST flipped the advantage in its favor briefly, but ISU set out on an 11-0 run to take it right back and run ahead 18-8. A Brandt ace put the Cyclones at set point and an attack error by the Tommies sealed the set at 25-13. ISU did not have a single attack error in the frame.

SET THREE

Back-to-back aces by Ti’a brought Iowa State ahead 6-2, while Ti’a delivered another bringing the scoreboard to 9-2. Goolsby’s seventh kill at .400 capped a Cyclone run of seven on the next play, but a UST scoring run of four came soon after as the Tommies came within three (13-10). Iowa State had a run of four of their own to keep command of the lead, while the Cyclones took the match lead on Goolsby’s 10th kill at 25-16.

SET FOUR

A 4-0 scoring run took the Tommies ahead 7-3 as ISU then called an early timeout. Iowa State would go on to knot the score at 13s on yet another ace by Ti’a, while a UST attack error gave ISU its first lead of the set. That lead was not safe as the Tommies went ahead 19-15 to cause Iowa State’s final timeout of the set. The Cyclones had a late run of three, but St. Thomas pushed on to force a fifth at 25-21.

SET FIVE

Iowa State took the first point on a kill by Ti’a, but St. Thomas followed going ahead 5-2. ISU did not let up, hitting a run of four to take a 6-5 lead and cause a UST timeout. The run stretched to seven as Iowa State switched sides with the lead of 8-5, and Goolsby capped the run next with a kill. ISU would go on to win it 15-8 after a St. Thomas service error.
