UConn vs UCLA all time

Onto UCLA. Keys to the Game: Turnovers, Rebounding, 3% shooting.

Turnovers: We kept ours under that magic number of 12 I described. Between that, and the huge rounding edge we had, we took almost 20 more shots than Furman. UCLA turned UCF over 17 times. We can't give up points in transition. Make UCLA play against our set defense. They struggled yesterday when their game was in the half court.

Rebounding: This is our big edge in the game. UCLA gave up 25 offensive rebounds to UCF, and were out rebounded 12. They were outrebounded by double digits against Purdue and Michigan St previously. We need to go to the glass and force them to deal with Tarris.

3% Shooting: Based on the night Reed had, and it being an area of weakness for UCLA, I expect Cronin to send double teams at him, as well as packing the paint. He is going to try and make Alex, Solo, and Mullins beat them.

Question for trivia/stats folks: has there ever been an NCAA tournament matchup featuring two teams with more combined titles? I guess it’s pretty simple.. has UCLA played Kentucky in the tourney recently?
 
Tomorrow will be payback for the 1995 E8 loss. It was a great game. Calhoun's team definitely had the talent to win a Title that year.

‘75, ‘98 and ‘17 in the tournament.

Kentucky had 2 less in 98 and UCLA had 1 less in 75.

Cronin is entertaining with his antics and it's been well documented here. He's also a really good coach who will gameplan to take Tarris out of the game. The other guys will simply need to make open shots for us to win.

Am I crazy or should UCLA be doing what we did with Edey and just let Tarris feast while locking down the others? Solo and Braylon have no confidence right now, so in my mind you try to lock them down and make it hell for them. You don't want to risk getting them confident if they can hit a few open shots off Tarris double teams.

Their star big is questionable like Silas. They will really be hurting against Tarris if he is out.
