LOS ANGELES -- Fun returned to Pauley Pavilion in a big way with the college debuts of Lonzo Ball and T.J. Leaf.Those two were among four starters in double figures for No. 16 UCLA, which made a school-record 18 3-pointers in a 119-80 rout of Pacific in the teams season opener on Friday night.Ball just missed a triple-double with 19 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds, while Leaf had 22 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.Everything went well and Im proud of the day that we had, Ball said.Bryce Alford scored 30 points to lead the Bruins, making six 3-pointers. Aaron Holiday added 18 points, including four 3-pointers, and Isaac Hamilton had 17 points in UCLAs run-and-gun offense that proved entertaining for the announced crowd of 8,743.Its just an opener, but when you can have an opener like this that word of mouth spreads, Bruins coach Steve Alford said. We are an exciting team to watch and its worth coming out to see if you like us.Pacific was led by T.J. Wallace with 21 points despite foul trouble and Ray Bowles with 14 points. Former NBA player Damon Stoudamire lost his college coaching debut.UCLA is a good team, Wallace said. What happened tonight was self-inflicted; we just have to get back to the basics.The Tigers werent too shabby from 3-point range, either. They made 10 of 26, led by David Taylor, who made all three of his attempts.But Pacific couldnt defend the Bruins sharpshooters. They bettered the old record of 17 3-pointers set against Arizona on Jan. 19, 2002.We knew it was going to be a challenge, Stoudamire said. One team is trying to get better, the other is trying to win a national championship.UCLA opened the game by hitting four consecutive 3s, with Ball sandwiching a pair around two straight by Alford. Ball followed his second 3-pointer with a dunk off Hamiltons alley-oop pass.Later in the half, Ball dunked off Holidays assist after Hamilton stole the ball.It was pretty nice. I think it will probably be on `SportsCenter, Leaf said. With the ball he cant really jump at all, but with it he can get up.That ignited an especially potent offensive stretch for the Bruins. Holiday scored 10 in a row, making two 3-pointers to start.UCLA ended the first half on another 3-pointer by Holiday for a 63-39 lead.Pacific never got close in the second half, when the Bruins led by 34 points early.UCLA opened the half with a 15-6 run that began with 3-pointers by Alford and Hamilton. Leaf scored off Balls alley-oop pass and then Leaf completed a three-point play.BIG PICTUREPacific: The Tigers have more ranked teams in their future. They play No. 14 Gonzaga on Dec. 31 and No. 17 Saint Marys on Feb. 2 before facing those opponents later in the season on the road.UCLA: The Bruins return 94.5 percent of their made 3-pointers, led by Alford, Holiday and Hamilton, who combined to hit 172 last season. Ball and Leaf will only add to the long-range threat.BALL MOVEMENTThe Bruins had 29 assists, with Hamilton dishing out eight and Holiday five. They kept the ball zipping around with no one afraid of making an extra pass.Thats the way our game should be played. Thats beautiful basketball, the elder Alford said.KENNYS KIDPacific freshman guard K.J. Smith is the son of former NBA guard and current TNT analyst Kenny The Jet Smith. The younger Smith went 0 for 3 -- all on 3-point attempts -- and missed his only free throw attempt in nine minutes.TRIPLE DIGITSThe Bruins hadnt scored that many points since beating Montana State 113-78 in the 2014-15 season opener. It was their most points since beating Cal State Fullerton 120-91 on Dec. 13, 1997, under Steve Lavin. They never topped triple digits last season.INJUREDUCLA sophomore forward Alex Olesinski missed the game with a strained foot. He has worn a boot for two days and is questionable for Sundays game. Were hoping its short-lived, the elder Alford said. Got to let it calm down.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe elder Alford pointed out UCLA is the only team in the Top 25 that had a losing record (15-17) last season. The Bruins ranking to start the season reflects the hype around Ball and Leaf in addition to the quality of the teams returning players.UP NEXTPacific: The Tigers play Green Bay on Monday in their home opener as part of ESPNs College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon.UCLA: The Bruins play Cal State Northridge on Sunday, the second of four straight home games to open the season.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org Stephen Curry Shoes Cheap .

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates are running out of time. It may already be too late.Ryan Vogelsong pitched four shaky innings in Pittsburghs 8-0 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday, closing a disappointing four-game set against the last-place Reds. The Pirates have dropped 11 of 13 overall to fall off the pace in the NL wild-card race.After Cincinnati got to Vogelsong (3-5) for five runs in the second on its way to a big lead, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle emptied his extensive bench, giving playing time to some younger and little-used players. But Hurdle insisted he isnt throwing in the towel.Not yet. Not for me, he said. My vision is to get us playing better. Thats my thought. Im not going to walk out of here with anything other than knowing I have a job to do. Negative emotions, I dont carry them at all. Frustration isnt going to help me do what I need to do to get those men motivated and continue to play. Discouragement, Im not going to go there. I dont go there. We needed to play better. We didnt. How do we play better? Thats where my focus is.After opening the series with a 4-1 win on Thursday night, the Pirates dropped the last three games. Left fielder Gregory Polanco was ejected by umpire Pat Hoberg for arguing balls and strikes in the third inning of the finale. It was Polancos first career ejection.Cincinnati left-hander Brandon Finnegan (9-10) struck out seven in five innings, but allowed five hits and walked five.The seven strikeouts played for him, Hurdle said. It got him out of the all messes. We werent able to convert in some situations that were there for us with a single, let alone a double, let alone a homer. That would have been great. Our execution in crunch time when we were trying to move or score or (get) a two-out hit has been challenging. ... We werent able to punch through and get that big hit off him.Jumbo Diaz followed Finnegan with two innings and Ross Ohlendorf and Wandy Peralta each got three outs, completing a seven-hitter.dddddddddddd. The Pirates (69-72) left 10 runners on base and went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position.The Pirates are always good, Finnegan said. They have a good-hitting team. The Reds and Pirates dont really get along very well. But its nice beating any team, especially winning a series.Cincinnati grabbed control in the second, taking advantage of an error by center fielder Andrew McCutchen and some wildness by Vogelsong. Holt had the big blow, a two-run triple that gave the Reds a 4-0 lead. Eugenio Suarez followed with an RBI single.Vogelsong was charged with six runs and seven hits.Cincinnati (60-82) finished with 13 hits. Joey Votto, one of the hottest hitters in the majors, was the only starting position player to fail to record a hit for the Reds.TRAINING ROOMReds: Alfredo Simon will miss the rest of the year with a right shoulder injury that will require surgery. Simon went 2-7 with a 9.37 ERA this season. ... INF Jose Peraza was given the day off after being hit by a pitch in his hand Saturday.Pirates: 2B Josh Harrisons right groin injury is more than day to day and could potentially be season ending, according to general manager Neal Huntington.UP NEXTReds: Keyvius Sampson (0-1, 3.90 ERA) will move to the rotation in order for the Reds to skip the start of Anthony DeSclafani. Sampson will be making his second start in 2015 after starting 12 games in 2016.Pirates: Gerrit Cole (7-9, 3.55 ERA) is expected to return from the disabled list to start Monday at Philadelphia. Cole has been inactive since Aug. 24 with right elbow inflammation. He has made just 20 starts after pitching 32 games in 2015. ' ' '
