Needing a third
There has been much talk lately about UCLA needing a third scorer (in addition to Kevin Love and Darren Collison) to advance past this weekend, and Love addressed it when he was asked about getting more offense from either Josh Shipp, Russell Westbrook or Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.
“We’re going to need a lot,’’ Love said. “We need to step up and hit those shots, and that’s what we’ve been stressing the past month-and-a-half. We need to step up and hit those shots, and I trust that they will because the bigger the stage, we all need to step up and play our best basketball.’’
Should we get to the round of 8 or FF we will need to get at least 20 combined points from Josh and Russell if we have any hope of beating any of the big guns still out there. Coach Howland was right, we sure could use Mike Roll now.
