UCLA virtually shut down winger Wagner (a projected #1 draft pick 1-10 from the field) and PG Smith (1-7 from the field) and didn't have much of a problem with center Dickinson (11 pts), all top notch players, held Michigan to 49 points after Michigan scored 76 vs Fla St, 86 vs LSU, and 82 vs Texas.
Gonzaga's 3 comperable players are probably better, but still, seems like UCLA had every player cornered, Wagner and Smith driving to the hoop were always forced out of their path, shut down...
Previous game, UCLA held Bama to 65 pts before overtime.
Is the UCLA defense a whole lot better than we understood (at least, than I understood)? Pac 12: 13-2 ATS in the tourney? UCLA getting 14 points?
