The Bruins, led lately by the clutch play of senior Jaime Jaquez Jr., need just one more victory in their next three games
The Bruins are in that position thanks to the recent play of Jaime Jaquez Jr., whom coach Mick Cronin thinks is a sure-pick to be an All-American.
The Camarillo native scored 25 points at Oregon, poured in 25 against Stanford, had 20 against Cal and tallied 23 at Utah on Thursday night – all in winning performances. “A lot of hard work,” Jaquez said of his late surge of great play. “I put in a lot of work during and after practice on my shot, preparing myself for these situations. My team needs me to make plays and score sometimes, Coach trusts me with the ball in my hands. I want to continue to earn that trust.”
