With halftime coming to an end and UCLA trailing 34-33, the Alabama Crimson Tide took the court at Pauley Pavilion to get in some stretches and warm back up for the second half. UCLA’s side of the court was empty.

The Bruins were spending a few more minutes in the locker room, looking to make changes to their game plan after a first half in which they struggled.

Trailing at halftime for the first time all season, the Bruins had 20 more minutes to turn things around and come away with the win.

But they only needed one.

With the game tied in the final minute, sophomore forward/center Tony Parker rose to the occasion with two key rebounds, a block and a pair of free throws, giving UCLA a 75-67 win in its final non-conference game.

“We got a huge shot in the arm from Tony Parker,” said coach Steve Alford. “I thought he was just terrific, especially in the second half.”

Parker, who was shooting just 43.5 percent from the free-throw line entering the game, said he was not lacking in confidence in his big moment at the line.

“As a basketball player, you dream for those situations,” Parker said. “… (Sophomore guard) Jordan (Adams) always messes with me about my free throw shooting so I tried to get back at him. I winked at the bench at the guys when I made free throws tonight, so that was big.”

After Parker drained the free throws, the season-high crowd of 9,061 rose to its feet and chanted his name.

“It was cool,” Parker said. “I was really just trying to focus on getting two more stops so we could go home with the win.”

UCLA (11-2) got the stops, forcing the ball out of the hands of Alabama’s senior guard Trevor Releford, who had a season-high 34 points, and getting a block from Parker to seal the deal. Parker, who had a team-high 16 points, was not without criticism, however.

“He played very well down the stretch, I must admit,” said sophomore guard/forward Kyle Anderson. “I’m still mad at him for five rebounds. That’s unacceptable.”

Parker’s lack of production on the boards was made up for by Adams, who had a team-high nine rebounds, seven of which came in the second half. Adams’ improved second-half rebounding mirrored that of his team; the Bruins trailed in the rebound margin by six at halftime, but finished the game having out-rebounded the Crimson Tide (5-7) by 11.

“That’s been our Achilles’ heel the whole season, so that was my main focus coming out the second half was to grab my rebounds,” Adams said.

Alford, who talked to his team about improving its rebounding in the second half, had another message to his players at halftime.

“(I told them) that we needed this,” Alford said. “We’re getting ready to get into conference season … so we needed this. … We needed somebody to really give us a good shot at home. … It’s been a long time at home since we’ve had that, and so it was good that we had to get into a possession-by-possession game to see where we were, and I thought we grew and matured a lot in this game.”

Tony Parker had UCLA fans chanting his name late in Saturday’s game against Alabama.

In the final minute against Alabama, Parker had a block, two rebounds and made both of his free throws to give UCLA a 75-67 victory in the final tuneup at Pauley Pavilion before Pac-12 play begins.

Parker, who had a UCLA-best 16 points off the bench, was a 43 percent free-throw shooter before Saturday. After he made both free throws with 56 seconds left, giving UCLA a 69-67 lead it never lost, he said he winked at his teammates on the bench.

“That was definitely a good (win),” Parker said. “We needed another out-of-conference win. I had to make plays at the end of the game. The block was big and the two free throws were big.”

Parker blocked the shot of Retin Obasohan, and UCLA’s Norman Powell was fouled and made two free throws with 31 seconds left for a 73-67 lead to seal the victory.

The Bruins (11-2) improved to 9-0 at home in front of an announced crowd of 9,061.

Parker’s play was critical, especially since Alabama guard Trevor Releford had taken over the game. Releford didn’t start due to a disciplinary issue, but he scored a season-high 34 points. He made a 3-pointer from the right wing and fell down, then got up to make a steal and uncontested layup on the other end to tie the game at 67 with 1:34 left.

And then Parker took over.

Releford had 19 of his 34 points in the second half but missed a layup with 43 seconds left, and Parker was there for the big defensive rebound.

UCLA guard Kyle Anderson said he had confidence Parker would make the free throws, and he did, but Anderson was a tough critic of Parker’s rebounding ability, despite snagging the biggest one of the game.

“He played very well down the stretch, I must admit,” said UCLA guard Kyle Anderson. “I’m still mad at him for five rebounds. That’s unacceptable. He played well down the stretch and was a big key to our win, but five rebounds is unacceptable for him.”

Anderson probably was trying to motivate Parker, but Parker made the plays that gave UCLA an important victory and helped the Bruins rally from their first halftime deficit — 34-33. Parker played only eight minutes in the first half and had all five of his rebounds in the second half.

The Bruins played much better on offense in the second half — even though Anderson was on the bench with cramps in his right calf muscle for a five-minute stretch.

This was the final game before UCLA begins its Pac-12 schedule by hosting USC on Jan. 5.

“We needed this,” UCLA coach Steve Alford said he told his team at halftime. “We’re getting ready for the conference season and for January, February and March. We were tied with Duke at the half and up at Missouri (in losses). We needed someone to give us a good shot.

“Drexel gave us that at the beginning of the year, but it had been a long time at home since we’ve had that. I thought we grew and matured a lot. We showed a lot of toughness the last five minutes.”

UCLA racked up a nice pre-conference schedule in victories, except for games against its toughest opponents — Missouri and Duke.

The Bruins were outrebounded by Alabama 17-11 in the first half and missed plenty of layups in transition. They also frittered away a 20-9 early lead.

UCLA went on a 9-0 run midway through the second half to take a 48-43 lead.

Alabama had a tough go of it, losing seven of its 12 games, but it has been against a tough schedule. The Crimson Tide has lost plenty of close games, including one to undefeated and 10th-ranked Wichita State and a 10-point loss to No. 9 Duke.

The previous time the teams played, Mark Gottfried (a former UCLA assistant coach) was Alabama’s coach and UCLA won in the second round of the 2006 NCAA Tournament. UCLA made the championship game that year, losing to Florida. Parker had the chance to see his family in New York recently when UCLA played Duke at Madison Square Garden, so he didn’t go home for Christmas for two days. He said he was working with Bryce and Kory Alford on free throws over the break.

It seems he found his shooting touch at the free-throw line, where he made 4 of 5 free throws.

“That’s (been weighing) big on me,” Parker said. “I thought I was a better free-throw throw shooter. I keep shooting them in practice. It’s big for me and my game because I will get fouled a lot.”

The Bruins improve to 11-2 with a hard-earned victory over the Crimson Tide.

LOS ANGELES – UCLA, like any tradition-rich college basketball program, is not judged in March by victories in November and December.

That’s not to say nonconference wins aren’t important, of course. They’re merely used as a springboard to the program’s greater goal.

It wasn’t easy, but the Bruins captured their 11th victory on Saturday, defeating Alabama, 75-67, at Pauley Pavilion.

“To be able to take a really good shot, our guys did a tremendous job,” Coach Steve Alford said. “ … Our attention to what our guys did defensively was the difference in the game.”

Kyle Anderson wrapped up a brilliant December with 13 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Jordan Adams added 14 points.

“We’ve made very big improvements over these last 80 minutes (of game time),” Anderson said. “We’re where we want to be.”

UCLA (11-2) trailed at the half for the first time this season. Three field goals out of the break, however, erased that deficit. Alabama (5-7) regained the lead shortly before the Bruins pulled even at 43.

UCLA then scored on seven of eight possessions.

“We’re a pretty good spurt-and-run team,” Alford said. “But the better you become defensively, the more you stay away from those runs.”

It was tied at 67 with 90 seconds remaining, and then Tony Parker hit two free throws to give UCLA the lead for good.

“It came down to who made the plays,” said Parker, who finished with 16 points. “I do whatever I can for my teammates. … I played my role tonight, just playing hard.”

Anderson had a hand in UCLA’s first seven field goals, and the Bruins held an early 20-9 lead. Alabama, however, turned eight scoreless UCLA possessions in to nine points.

Trevor Releford hit two 3-pointers later in the half, and the Tide ultimately nabbed a 34-33 halftime lead.

“We needed this,” Alford said. “We’re getting ready to get into January, February, March, so we needed somebody to really give us a good shot, especially here at home.

“It was good that we had to get into a possession-by-possession game.”

UCLA begins defense of its Pac-12 regular-season championship Jan. 5 at noon against rival USC.

“Everything that’s behind us is behind us,” Adams said. “ … We’re starting Pac-12 play on a two-game winning streak, and we’re trying to improve on that, too.”

Releford finished with a season-high 34 points.

LOS ANGELES - Tony Parker scored 16 points, including two free tie-breaking free throws with 56.8 seconds remaining, leading UCLA to a 75-67 win over Alabama on Saturday night.

Trevor Releford scored a game-high 34 points to lead Alabama (5-7). Releford scored five consecutive points down the stretch, tying the game 67-67 with 1:24 to play in the second half.

Parker made a pair of free throws with 56.8 seconds left to give UCLA a 69-67 cushion. UCLA scored its next six points at the free throw line to seal its ninth consecutive home win. Parker added two key rebounds and a block in the final minute for the Bruins (11-2).

“We got a huge shot in the arm with Tony Parker,” UCLA head coach Steve Alford said. “I thought he was just terrific, especially in the second half.”

Saturday night’s game marked the first contest all season in which the Bruins trailed at halftime. Alabama overcame an early 20-9 deficit and took a 34-33 halftime lead. UCLA opened the second half with a 5-0 scoring run to take a 39-34 advantage at the 17:47 mark.

Alabama won the rebounding battle in the first half by a 17-11 margin, but UCLA took over on the glass in the final 20 minutes and finished with 37 total rebounds to Alabama’s 26.

“We’re getting ready to enter the conference season,” Alford said. “We’re getting ready to get into January, February, March, so we needed this. We were tied with Duke at half, we were up at Missouri, so we haven’t been in that situation, especially at home. We needed somebody to give us a really good shot at home, like Drexel did early in the season.”

Parker was one of five UCLA players to score in double figures. Jordan Adams logged 14 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Norman Powell and Kyle Anderson each scored 13 points, and Travis Wear finished with 10.

Anderson missed nearly five minutes while overcoming leg cramps on the bench in the game’s final 10 minutes. The sophomore from Fairview, N.J., returned to the game with 5:09 to play and helped UCLA secure its second consecutive win.

The Bruins will return to action at home against crosstown rival USC on Sunday, Jan. 5. The game will be nationally televised by Fox Sports 1 in Pauley Pavilion.

I don't know about you, but I get a kick out of watching these drafts retrospectively, listening to the experts pontificate about how these players would fare in the pros, and me already knowing how their NBA careers turned out.

I've tried to scour YT for full videos of past NBA drafts starting 1984 and I think these are all that exists. I have place holders for years in which I do not have any videos. Also, for some years (e.g., 2010), I can only find snippets rather than the whole draft. If anyone can point out better videos, please let me know in the comments section.

I will continue to add to this whenever I find more draft videos. Do let me know if I am missing any years that videos are actually available online so I can add to this post. Please post links on the comments section as well.

VERSUS ALABAMA
UCLA has recorded a 2-1 all-time record against Alabama. Most recently, the Bruins defeated the Crimson Tide, 62-59, in a second-round matchup at the 2006 NCAA Tournament en route to advancing to the NCAA Championship game against Florida. Previously, UCLA downed Alabama 79-57 in Anaheim at the 2001 John R. Wooden Classic (Dec. 8, 2001). Alabama won the first-ever meeting against UCLA on Nov. 28, 1983 in Pauley Pavilion. The Crimson Tide enter this Saturday’s game led by senior guard Trevor Releford’s 17.0 points per game.

GETTING BUCKETS
Sophomore guard Jordan Adams leads UCLA with 18.9 points per game, having scored at least 20 points in seven of 12 contests. Adams scored a career-high 30 points against Morehead State (Nov. 22, Pauley Pavilion) and registered his first collegiate double-double in UCLA’s 80-71 loss at Missouri (Dec. 7). The resident of Atlanta, Ga., finished second in scoring for UCLA last season, having averaged 15.3 points per game as a freshman.

TRIPLE THREAT
No player in the country is averaging as close to a triple-double as is UCLA’s Kyle Anderson (14.7 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 6.7 apg). Through games played Tuesday, Dec. 24, Anderson was the nation’s only player to be averaging at least 10.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg and 6.0 apg. Eastern Washington’s Drew Brandon (11.3/7.1/5.8), Connecticut’s Shabazz Napier (15.5/6.7/5.6) and BYU’s Kyle Collinsworth (12.8/8.0/5.3) all trail Anderson in that vaunted category.

MAKING HISTORY
Kyle Anderson registered the third triple-double on record in school history on Nov. 22, logging 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in UCLA’s 81-70 victory against Morehead State. That marked UCLA’s first triple-double since Dec. 18, 1995, when Toby Bailey had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Stephen F. Austin. Through his UCLA career, Anderson has finished three assists shy of a triple-double in five games (twice last season, three times this season). Against Duke on Dec. 19, Anderson had 15 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and five steals.

BIG OFF THE BENCH
UCLA freshmen Zach LaVine and Bryce Alford have played instrumental roles off the bench. In all, the Bruins’ bench this season has accounted for 31.1 percent of its total scoring (322/1037). LaVine ranks third on the team with 12.8 points per game. Alford has scored 7.4 points per game and ranks first in the Pac-12 with 3.5 assists-turnover ratio. LaVine scored 21 points against Nevada on Nov. 28 and followed that with an 18-point effort versus Northwestern on Nov 29. Alford scored a season-high 18 points against Northwestern, connecting on 7 of 9 shots.

HIGH OCTANE
The Bruins have averaged 86.4 points through their first 12 games, the program’s highest per game offensive output this early in a season since averaging 88.5 ppg after 12 contests in 1994-95, the last year in which UCLA won the NCAA Championship. Earlier this season, UCLA compiled a seven-game streak of at least 80 points scored in victories. That feat had not been accomplished since the 1994-95 campaign (streak from Feb. 22-March 17, 1995).

STEPPING UP
Senior forward David Wear scored a team-leading 16 points in UCLA’s 80-63 loss to Duke at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 19. In UCLA’s last two games, Wear has averaged 12.5 points per game, making 10 of 12 field goal attempts (.833) and 4 of 4 three-point field goal attempts. He enters Saturday evening’s game against Alabama having averaged 8.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. Wear has shot 57.6 percent from the field (38/66).

DOWN THE ROAD
Following UCLA’s game against Alabama on Dec. 28, the Bruins will open Pac-12 play against USC (Jan. 5) before hosting games against No. 1 Arizona (Jan. 9) and Arizona State (Jan. 12). Last season, the Bruins went 3-0 against Arizona, including a 66-64 win in a Pac-12 Tournament semifinal game. The Wildcats could enter that game maintaining their current No. 1 ranking in both the AP and USA Today Coaches’ polls. The game on Jan. 9 would mark the first time UCLA has played the nation’s No. 1 team since Dec. 6, 2009 (lost to Kansas, 73-61, in Pauley Pavilion).

EXPERIENCED BRUIN
Norman Powell has played in more games in a UCLA uniform than any other current UCLA basketball player. Powell has played in 80 career contests, making 22 starts, having played in all 80 games since the start of the 2011-12 season. He scored 19 points on 8-of-13 shooting against Chattanooga on Nov. 24. Powell has logged career averages of 6.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He has scored in double figures in seven of 12 games this year.

INJURY REPORT
Freshman Noah Allen suffered multiple fractures to his face after a collision with one of Oakland’s players on Nov. 12. He underwent surgery on Nov. 14. A timetable for his return has not been determined. Freshman Wanaah Bail missed UCLA’s first five games of the season recovering from left knee surgery before making his collegiate debut in Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 28. Senior Travis Wear missed UCLA’s first three games (appendectomy on Oct. 28).

In an 83-60 win over Weber State on Sunday night, UCLA’s Kyle Anderson fell four assists short of his second triple-double of the season. Perhaps it’s just as well; hardly anyone would have seen the milestone.

The Pac-12 Network’s game feed went dead for most of the second half due to technical difficulties, replaced by a replay of the USC football team’s 20-17 win over Stanford on Nov. 16.

As a minor consolation, Pauley Pavilion drew more fans than it had all season. Those lucky 7,013 could have witnessed the first Bruin to have two career triple-doubles. Anderson notched his actual triple-double, the third in school history, on Nov. 22. It followed Toby Bailey and Jelani McCoy, both of whom pocketed theirs in December 1995.

Anderson also entered the day as one of six Division I players to have a triple-double this season, none of whom have done it twice. Arguably the most versatile player in the Pac-12, he was the only one ranked among the conference’s top-five in rebounds (8.8), assists (6.7) and steals (1.81). He has grabbed at least six rebounds in every game this season, and has registered at least five assists in all but two outings.

His chance to do so was perhaps undone by UCLA’s immense lead over the Wildcats (2-5), one that swelled to as much as 30 points.

With 13:30 left on the game clock, the 6-foot-9 point guard had 19 points, nine rebounds and six assists. He quieted down the rest of the way, and ended the game on the bench with four more points and another rebound. It was enough for his sixth double-double of the season, and 14th of his career.

“I don’t worry about that stuff,” he said, when asked if he was aware of how close he’d been. “If I do everything I’m supposed to do and play as hard as I can, and help my team, that’s going to come by itself.”

The sophomore did set another personal best: his 23 points were a career-high, breaking his previous high of 21, which he had reached twice. He shot 6-of-9 from the field, and drained 9 of his 10 attempts at the free-throw line.

He hit both his 3-point shots, and is now 60 percent from beyond the arc this season. He finished his freshman campaign at 21.1 percent.

Anderson said last week that he’s worked with the coaching staff to adjust his shooting form, but also attributes the improvement to a mental leap: “I had it in my head that I was going to become a better shooter. I trusted my confidence.”

He also had two steals for the Bruins (10-2), who held Weber State to 37 percent from the field after halftime. UCLA has been outscored by 17 in the second half of losses to Missouri and Duke.

“We put together a second half defensively that was the best 20 minutes we’ve had in a while,” head coach Steve Alford said.

The Bruins also outrebounded the Wildcats, 42-28. They had surrendered a combined rebounding advantage of 25 to the Tigers and the Blue Devils.
