WACO, Texas -- Kalani Brown is 20 pounds lighter this season, and Baylors 6-foot-7 sophomore post player is moving smoothly up and down the court. And shes dominating on both ends for the second-ranked Lady Bears.Brown set career highs with 25 points, 19 rebounds and six assists and Baylor took over after halftime on way to an 84-70 victory over ninth-ranked UCLA on Monday night.My game is elevated, said Brown, the Louisiana native who said she ate healthier and worked extra throughout the offseason. Being able to take off getting my second wind, it feels really good.UCLA coach Cori Close put it simply: Kalani Brown was a hand full.Baylor had trailed 48-41 at halftime, but got even in the first 2 minutes of the third quarter. Alexis Prince hit a 3-pointer before Alexis Jones and Brown each had baskets, and assisted each other.Up by only two going to the fourth quarter, a layup by Jones soon after that started a 14-0 run over a 5-minute span for the Lady Bears (2-0). That spurt included a 13-foot straight-up jumper for Brown, who finished 12-of-15 shooting.Asked if it was the kind of overall game she expected of Brown, who also matched her career high with five blocked shots, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey responded, Yes, quite frankly. ... Kalani was one of the guys in the Oregon State game at the end of the year that wasnt afraid to get in there and bang with you. Yeah, thats why she stayed on the floor.Jordin Canada led UCLA (1-1) with 23 points, while Monique Billings had 16 points with 10 rebounds. Kari Korver had 13 points.Preseason All-America forward Nina Davis, Prince and Jones each had 15 points for Baylor. All played the entire second half, when Baylor outscored UCLA 43-22, and Kristy Wallace played the entire game.Our defense, not only picked it up in intensity, we just had positioning where we were smarter, Mulkey said. And I just think that you went with the most experienced, veteran players that could produce in a big game.BIG PICTUREUCLA: While the Bruins played like a top-10 team most of the first half, they just didnt have a big body to match up with Brown. After six 3-pointers (on 15 shots), helped UCLA take as much as an 11-point lead in the first half, they were 0-for-7 from long range after halftime. They came out in the second half and exerted their will, Close said of Baylor.Baylor: With consecutive games against top-10 opponents Mulkey leaned on the returning players. The three freshmen for the Lady Bears are going to be standout players, but Lauren Cox was 0-for-4 shooting with two rebounds in 4 minutes, and Natalie Chou was 0-for-1 with two rebounds in 12 minutes. Juicy Landrum didnt even play. All three got significant action in the season-opening rout over Houston Baptist.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor certainly lived up to its No. 2 ranking against another top-10 team, and gets another quick test at No. 3 UConn. UCLA has a chance to recover with the next two games at home and could stay in the top 10 with a couple of wins.BIG BOARDSThe Lady Bears had a 52-25 rebounding edge. Take out Browns 19 (including eight offensive boards), and Baylor still would have a 33-25 advantage.MAYBE IN MARCH?All the credit to Baylor, they showed great experience and poise, and I hope we get to play them again, Close said.REALLY, COACHWhen Mulkey was asked how blunt she was with her halftime message, she said, Its too early in the year to get ugly with them. Brown had a grin on her face when she rolled her eyes. Asked if she was getting soft, Mulkey then replied, Im just mellowing in my old age.UP NEXTUCLA returns home to play at home twice in three days. The Bruins play Southern University on Friday, then host Cal Poly on Sunday.Baylor hits the road for the first time and plays another top-10 opponent. The Lady Bears play Thursday at third-ranked UConn. Air Max2 Light Canada .

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. TORONTO -- For decades, Dave Keon wanted no part of the Toronto Maple Leafs. On Friday, he was honored as the greatest player in the teams 100-year history.Syl Apps was second on the list, followed by Ted Kennedy, Darryl Sittler, Mats Sundin, Tim Horton, Johnny Bower, Borje Salming, Frank Maholvlich and Turk Broda.The list was compiled by a 31-member voting committee as well as 300,000 fans, according to Leafs president?Brendan Shanahan.Keon won four Stanley Cups with Toronto and remains the only player in team history to capture the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP.Obviously, winning Stanley Cups certainly helps your popularity, Keon said following a ceremony announcing the results. Im sure that had something to do with it.Keons rift with the Leafs stemmed from years of perceived mistreatment, including the clubs unwillingness to retire his No. 14 sweater.Shanahan said it took only a phone call for Keon to accept an invitation to the event. The team president also thought Keon appreciated a gesture from coach Mike Babcock, who brought the teams former captain into the dressing room at one point last season.I think he wanted to come back, Shanahan said about the 76-year-old Keon. I think he wanted to be a part of this. I think he likes the ddirection that were going.ddddddddddddShanahan, a Toronto area native, said his favorite Leaf growing up was Sittler, who ranks second behind Sundin on the career scoring list. Shanahan thought Keon, the third-leading scorer in franchise history, was an appropriate choice, though.Keon won the clubs first and only Conn Smythe trophy in 1967 (the award didnt exist until 1965) and a Calder Trophy as the leagues top rookie in 1961. He scored 365 goals and 858 points in 1,062 games for Toronto, third behind Sundin and Sittler in both categories.Keon jumped to Minnesota in the World Hockey Association in 1975 and ended up back in the NHL with Hartford in 1979-80. He played his last season in 1981-82 at age 41 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1986.He returned to the Toronto organization in public outings only in the past decade, when past Cup-winning teams were honored.Keon was a member of the last Toronto club to win the Stanley Cup. He said he hoped todays group would embrace the challenge of getting back there one day.Its going to take a little while, Keon said, but it seems theyre getting the right players. ' ' '
