UCLA F Shipp to return Sunday

Dec 28, 2008 - 3:31 AM LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Senior forward Josh Shipp will be back in the lineup Sunday when 10th-ranked UCLA hosts Louisiana Tech.

The 6-5 forward has missed the past two games due to a sprained ligament in his left thumb.

Shipp, who has averaged in double figures during each of the past two seasons, is scoring 11.2 points per contest this season.

UCLA, which is coming off a 113-62 triumph over Wyoming on Tuesday, enters the contest on a five-game winning streak.
