LOS ANGELES -- Knowing San Diego lacked a solid inside presence, UCLA went after the Toreros where it hurt.T.J. Leaf had 26 points and 10 rebounds and fellow freshman Lonzo Ball added 13 points to help the 16th-ranked Bruins win 88-68 on Thursday night.T.J., he can shoot it, pass it and handle it, UCLA coach Steve Alford said. That just opens up your offense even more.Thomas Welsh had 12 points and 11 rebounds as one of six players in double figures for the Bruins (3-0), who failed to top 100 points for the first time this season. They averaged 110.5 points in victories over Pacific and Cal State Northridge.Six guys got to the free throw line, six guys got rebounds and assists, Alford said. It enables us to stretch our offense.San Diegos Brett Bailey tied his career high with 22 points and Cameron Neubauer added a career-best 14 points despite playing the second half with three fouls.Baileys 3-pointer drew the Toreros (0-3) within four points early in the second half before Leaf and Ball teamed up for an entertaining offensive show.Leaf got things started with a one-handed dunk on a give-and-go with Isaac Hamilton and followed with another one-handed jam on Balls assist. The highly touted freshmen reversed things, with Leaf feeding Ball for a dunk before Leaf scored inside. The Bruins had 21 assists.Ive never played with this much talent around me before, Leaf said. It takes adjusting to get used to, but were starting to get used to our roles.Leaf kept up the theatrics with another dunk before finishing off the 16-8 run with a two-handed dunk on Balls alley-oop pass that extended UCLAs lead to 58-45.We wanted to give it to them inside a little bit, Leaf said. We really wanted to make our presence around the basket and we did that.Consecutive baskets by Ball and a 3-pointer by Leaf pushed the Bruins lead to 68-52.The Toreros couldnt defend UCLAs surge. Bailey and Neubauer did all of San Diegos second-half scoring until Olin Carter III scored eight straight points with 6:13 to go.Our kids really competed, but against an explosive team like UCLA, we gave up so much size, second-year San Diego coach Lamont Smith said. They had 46 points in the paint; it was not just post-up points, but its what they got in the interior.Hamilton added 12 points and Aaron Holiday had 11 for the Bruins, who shot 52 percent.BIG PICTURESan Diego: The Toreros face a long climb this season, having been picked to finish last in the West Coast Conference coaches poll.

No one should accuse the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge of hothousing Prince George. But, at the age of two, the third in line to the British throne already has a tennis racket, which is younger than when most of the competitors at the All England Club first had a swing.And the Wimbledon Diary has it on good authority that if this royal prodigy does end up being a decent tennis player, that talent would have come from his mother rather than from his father (from dad he will inherit the throne, and from mum the ability to hit a backhand down the line). Someone who has watched both the Duke and Duchess on court has said that she is the more natural tennis player.On a visit to the All England Club, the Duchess told Greg Rusedski in a brief conversation on the players lawn how Prince George is enjoying his tennis. Thats reassuring to hear -- enough kids have lost their childhoods in a doomed pursuit of playing on Centre Court without the Prince adding to their numbers.Sleep is for winnersSleeping is among the hobbies of Angelique Kerber, the German who will play in her first Wimbledon final on Saturday. Judging by the order that she lists her leisure activities on the WTA website, she enjoys that more than dancing and hanging out with friends (though not qquite as much as swimming, soccer, Formula One, figure-skating, handball and shopping).dddddddddddd You do wonder whether Kerber, who won her first Grand Slam at this years Australian Open, will have a restful night before playing Serena Williams.Aces to acesMilos Raonic has served 114 aces so far at The Championships, and every one of them has caused a little psychological damage to his opponents. If you hit an ace, it gives you freedom as you dont have to play the point, but its more what it does to the other guy, the Canadian has told the Wimbledon Diary. It keeps them guessing and it also builds the pressure on them as they are going to be thinking they have to hold serve.BREAKING - Ivan Lendl does smileCaught on camera at the All England Club -- Ivan Lendl smiling. Usually when Lendl is on public view, the Czech-born US citizen doesnt show his teeth, but he seemed to be having a jolly time when chatting to the Duchess of Cambridge and there it was: his big-dollar American dentistry. Expect him to revert to his usual self when he takes his seat on Centre Court on Friday for Andy Murrays semifinal against Tomas Berdych. ' ' '
