The Bruins host the Pioneers on Saturday afternoon before taking a trip the East Coast to face Maryland and then play Kentucky in New York.
UCLA isn’t coming off one good result, it’s coming off a pair of good results. The Bruins won 80-66 at Stanford last Thursday, thanks to relentless defense and Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s 27 points. They then topped Oregon at home 65-56 on Sunday afternoon on ESPN, anchored by a 44-point second half. Starting Pac-12 play 2-0 is certainly good, and so was Amari Bailey being named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for a second consecutive time. The left-handed guard averaged 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.
With Bailey seemingly making more plays with the ball in his hands, it’s adjusted the role of senior point guard Tyger Campbell a bit. He’s looking to thread the needle of still being a playmaker, but shooting the ball more, too. The playmaking is up and so are the assists at 4.9 per game. The shooting is up, too, but not the making. Campbell has attempted the most shots on the team and is shooting 39% from the field. Against Oregon, he was 4 of 15 from the floor.
