Michigan shuts down UCLA’s 2nd-half rally with size, shooting
LOS ANGELES — Dueling 7-footers. Such is life in the Big Ten.
But 7-footers who will step back on you one possession, dunk over you the next, and run pick-and-rolls for each other, that’s not what the UCLA men’s basketball team expected when it joined the beautiful muck that is this Midwest-centric conference.
Slogs, low-scoring grinds, that’s what the Bruins thought was in store. Head coach Mick Cronin built a team to elicit those types of games, highlighted by a defense that ranks fourth in KenPom’s defensive ratings.
