It's halftime at Purcell Pavilion, with the Irish up by 4 over the Bruins. That matches Notre Dame's largest lead of the half. UCLA has been up by as many as 6, most recently at 26-20.
The bad news for Notre Dame is that its defense hasn't improved much since the last game. UCLA is shooting 57.7 percent from the field.
After starting 0 for 4 from the field, Luke Harangody made 5 of his last 7 shots and has 12 points to lead the Irish. Ben Hansbrough has 9 points — including a four-point play — as does Jonathan Peoples.
Michael Roll has 11 points and Malcolm Lee 10 for the Bruins.
