Mick Cronin has options if UCLA star Jaime Jaquez Jr. can’t play against UNC

Posted Mar 20, 2022
So, what does Mick Cronin do? Does the UCLA coach go with his top defender if Jaime Jaquez Jr. is unable to play in the biggest game of the season, inserting Jaylen Clark? Or does he go with the emerging Peyton Watson, whose long arms and legs make him a human roadblock to the basket? If all goes well, Jaquez’s sprained ankle heals sufficiently. (Los Angeles Times)
