Junior center Thomas Welsh also had a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.I thought TJ was really gd, said UCLA coach Steve Alford, who has lauded his teams versatility to sht from the perimeter and score in the paint. We wanted to attack inside. I thought we really started executing on offense that was geared towards getting the ball inside.It was a season-low for us in threes (5 of 22 performance against San Diego) but it was a game where our emphasis was really getting -- I thought all three of our bigs (including reserve center Gyorgy Goloman) did a really gd job.Long Beach State is averaging 68.2 points a game while shting 36.8 percent from the field and 23.8 percent from 3-point range. Only two players are averaging scoring in double figures, forward Gabe Levin (13.3 points a game) and guard Evan Payne (10., both of whom are Loyola Marymount transfers.Levin also leads the 49ers win rebounds with 7.5 a despite being a wing player at 6-ft-7 and 215 pounds.After the game against Long Beach State, UCLA leaves Pauley Pavilion but stays in southern California to play in the Wden Legacy in Anaheim, Calif., on Thursday, Friday and Nov. 27.
