Scouting UCLA
UCLA point guard Darren Collison said one of the reasons the offense had so much trouble was Memphis' decision to leave the Bruins' power forward unguarded for 12- to 16-foot shots. It allowed the Tigers to double team center Kevin Love, and also impacted Collison's play.
"Any time I penetrated, the (power forward) that was guarding (UCLA's power forward) was the one that was came over and helped,'' Collison said. "They did a good job of scouting. You have to give them credit for that."
I guess that says that Kansas decided that Luc couldn't hit the mid-range jumper reliably and they decided to double Kevin instead...all in all, probably not a bad guess going in.
