Guarding Afflalo
I spoke to Weber State's Dan Henry on Wednesday night, and he said he was going to be the guy guarding UCLA all-American Arron Afflalo. So how will he approach it?
"In the Big Sky Conference there's a lot of great players,'' he said. "There's come-off-screen shooters, great, great players and coach (Randy Rahe) has matched me up on them all season long. The thing about (UCLA) is I understand Afflalo's a great player. I watched him day-in and day-out. He's a great player, so my focus is not let him touch it.
"He can shoot it, he can come off and shoot it, he can dribble, so getting him away from the ball is the best thing. So I'm going to face-guard him. I'm going to guard him, and hopefully he'll get really annoyed by me because I'm going to be on him a lot. We're going to play a lot of zone, but at the beginning of the zone we'll see if I can get into him and get him to fluster himself.''
