LOS ANGELES — The emotions lingered long after the pregame ceremony ended.
Wiping his eyes with his shirttail, UCLA's Tyger Campbell walked over to the family of late former teammate Jalen Hill near midcourt inside Pauley Pavilion. The point guard draped his arms over shoulders as part of a group hug that grew as more teammates joined in remembrance of the power forward who died earlier this year in Costa Rica.
The last Bruin out of the locker room before tipoff, Campbell struggled mightily in the first half against Denver on Saturday afternoon. Reminders of Hill were everywhere, the Bruins running the "24 out" play that involved the shooting guard back screening for Jaime Jaquez Jr., who wears the same No. 24 that Hill once did.
