Why UCLA can cover
Five players average in double figures for the Bruins, paced by sophomore guard Johnny Juzang, whose availability was in doubt Saturday after suffering a sprained ankle vs. Michigan State. He showed no ill effects from the injury by scoring 19 of his game-high 27 points in the first half against BYU. Juzang had 23 points in the First Four contest and is only the third UCLA player to score at least 20 points in his first two NCAA Tournament games.
Junior swingman Jaime Jaquez Jr. and sophomore guard Jules Bernard rank second and third on the Bruins in scoring at 12.3 and 10.6 points, respectively. Both players are riding streaks of five consecutive games with double-digit points, with Jaquez averaging 15.8 and Bernard 16.0 in that stretch. UCLA has committed only 12 turnovers in two NCAA Tournament games and its ability to protect the ball will be pivotal against Abilene Christian’s defense.
