Four triples, little else in loss Yates recorded 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 82-80 loss to UCLA.

Impact Yates shot 40 percent from distance against the Bruins but missed every other attempt from two-point range.

Still, he's supplying 4.5 rebounds per game, as he's taken it upon himself to crash the glass more so than his freshman year at USC. Yates is already a problem, but he'll be even more dangerous if he can find a little more consistency.
