UCLA coach Ben Howland said the Bruins did not attack Michigan’s 1-3-1 zone very well, the free throw shooting (5 of 11) was poor and he was disappointed in allowing the Wolverines to shoot 62 percent from the field in the second half.
I didn’t get much time to talk to players afterward because they were whisked away to the bus in the middle of the postgame interview session. Howland said they had to get some rest for an early practice since UCLA plays at 5 p.m. locally (2 p.m. in Los Angeles) Friday.
