I'm not even going to say anything other than Joshua Smith was a BEAST. Our inside presence is back! Other than that, I'll let the photos speak for themselves. As usual, click for big. The full gallery has 139 photos, these are just the ones I thought are really representative of how the game went/are really good. Full gallery links are below each shot, and a slideshow (like the women's game posts) is at the bottom. Off we go!

Joshua Smith dunks over Alex Stepheson as Nikola Vucevic watches helplessly.

(Much, much) more after the jump!

Jerime Anderson is stepping into the 2 guard/spark off the bench role very well. While I won't say he's a complete solution to our lack of outside shooting, he's certainly making it less of a glaring weakness. Speaking of outside shooting, Michael Roll was in attendance this evening and got a nice Bruin Vision shout-out.

In a complete reversal of the ending of the game at the Galen Center, Josh Smith, Reeves Nelson, and Tyler Honeycutt celebrate as time expires.
