We won against UNC in our previous meeting, 83-63; we shot 58% FG in that game. UNC not a good shooting team at 39.5% FG (#349 Nat'l) and 27.8% 3PT (#342). But they make it up on defense, giving just 57.1 opp ppg (#11) and 38.6% opp FG (#11). So yes, this is a battle of offense vs defense; offense prevailed before, but this is totally different environmentHow they got here Automatic selection (Champs, ACC tournament)(Round 2) Def Central Connecticut, 52-43 (Temple 10 pts, 4 rebs, 3 blks)(Round 3) Def Brigham Young, 57-45 (Temple 18 pts, 6 rebs, 3 stls)(Sweet 16) Def #16 St John's, 67-61 (Hayes 19 pts, 11 rebs)(Elite 8) Def #5 Kentucky, 73-68 (Temple 17 pts, 6 rebs)(Final 4) Def #4 Oklahoma, 72-67 (Temple 21 pts, 7 rebs, 3 stls)Comparison (tournament averages): Points For: UCLA 76, UNC 64Points Opp: UCLA 56, UNC 57Rebounds: UCLA 34, UNC 34Turnovers: UCLA 8.8, UNC 12.6Steals: UCLA 12.2, UNC 7.6Blocks: UCLA 4.4, UNC 5.43PT%: UCLA 19-54 (35%), UNC 32-105 (30%)2nd chance pts: UCLA 10, UNC 12Fast break pts: UCLA 26, UNC 9 1st Half Both teams cancelling each other out with 5 turnovers each. UNC's SF Tevis Temple picking up 2 quick fouls13:23, Tied at 8 Had to sit down C Aaron Lappas to settle down; Lappas called for steps at least 3 times already. PF Chris Lucas taking care of our inside scoring, while PG Eugene Tucker scoring 6 pts off the bench. Both teams with 9 turnovers. UNC already in the penalty6:56, Up 20-12 We also got into penalty, and UNC able to take advantage to get themselves back in the game. UNC's offensive rebounding has also been a huge factor. Whichever team can solve their turnover problems in the 2nd half has a better chance of winning. Both teams with 12 errors Halftime: Up 30-27 Key stat(s) FG: UCLA 55%, UNC 30%2nd chance: UCLA 0, UNC 7Key Players UCLA: SG Mark Pettway 10 pts, 5 stlsUNC: PF Kurt Hayes 8 pts, 3 rebs, 2 stls 2nd Half SG Mark Pettway scored our 1st 7 pts of the 2nd half, plus 2 more steals. UNC's PG Jason Tilmon also exploding with 8 of his 10 pts here in the 2nd half. More sloppy plays for both teams 13:38, Up 43-39 C Anthony Burton has stepped up big time, replacing struggling C Aaron Lappas. Burton scoring all of his 6 pts here in the 2nd half. The last 3 by SG Mark Pettway punctuated a 9-0 run, forcing UNC to call an early timeout10:59, Up 52-39 We extended our lead to 20, while allowing me to steal some rest time for SG Mark Pettway. It is now a 16-0 run! Our defense has smothered UNC's offensive flow for the last 7 minutes!6:51, Up 59-39 UNC extending their drought. It is now an 19-0 run, and we lead by 23. UNC in the penalty. Fans beginning to celebrate, but still too early. UNC's SF Tevis Temple got fouled, and his 2 FTs finally breaking their silence. Temple has had a rough day, 9 pts on 1-11 FG5:41, Up 62-41 SG Mark Pettway now has 13 steals! UNC has a mountain to climb2:56, Up 66-44 UNC's last 3 baskets were from 3pt territory. Too late for them though, as we're still up by 16 with a minute left. It didn't matter that UNC hit 2 more 3s in the dying seconds of the game. Not a pretty game based from the number of turnovers (UCLA 24, UNC 26), but were able to capitalize on their mistakes more UCLA wins it's 1st National Title!

In our meeting earlier this season, we forced this freshman-laden team to 23 turnovers, and we won 79-63. GT one of the best rebounding teams in the country at 37.0 rpg (#5 Nat'l)How they got here At-large selection (1st place, ACC regular season)(Round 2) Def Columbia, 68-44 (Boythe 19 pts, 8 rebs, 3 blks)(Round 3) Def Indiana, 83-75 (Boythe 26 pts, 13 rebs)(Sweet 16) Def #14 Auburn, 75-60 (Boythe 27 pts, 14 rebs)(Elite 8) Def #3 Villanova, 78-70 (Boythe 26 pts, 10 rebs, 6 blks)GT has 4 freshmen in their starting lineup, including SG Marlon Watson. Over the last 4 games, the "Far Four" has accounted for 75% of both of GT's total points and rebounds 1st Half SG Mark Pettway with 3 fouls less than 6 mins into the game. GT a much improved team since the last time we faced them; playing better defense, and able to handle our pressure defense easily. 12:03, Down 8-13 We can't get anything much against GT's interior defense (7 blks). With SG Mark Pettway on the bench, we don't have much perimeter scoring either6:07, Down 14-23 We tried to stay close, with SG TJ Jones providing some scoring help. The thing that worried me after he 1st half is that GT's Fab Four didn't do much scoring; their bench provided half of their total pts Halftime: Down 30-34 Key stat(s) FT: UCLA 2-5, GT 11-14Paint: UCLA 18, GT 4Key Players UCLA: SG TJ Jones 7 ptsGT: PF Josh Boythe 2 pts, 6 rebs, 5 blks 2nd Half SG Mark Pettway beginning to take charge, scoring 9 of his 11 pts here in the 2nd half. Problem is, we already have 6 team fouls 14:38, Up 41-40 GT scored 5 unanswered pts, and on the next play, SG Mark Pettway called for a charge, and that's his 4th foul. I was furious on the call13:51, Down 41-45 We are getting hammered down low, and yet no call. And yet, soft fouls are being called on the other end. I am very close from being assessed with a technical11:37, Down 43-49 Deficit grew to 10. I had no choice but to bring back SG Mark Pettway and PF Chris Lucas, both with 4 fouls. We are able to cut down our deficit to 6 a couple of times, but can't sustain our momentum because GT is being rewarded a lot FTs (31 already in the game)6:28, Down 54-62 We get a steal, and SG Mark Pettway scored on the break. After a GT miss, Pettway hits a 3. Another miss by GT. Pettway with the rebound. Pettway hits another 3 to tie the game!4:53, Tied at 62 A turnover by GT! However, SG Dickey Walton missed a potential basket that could have given us the lead. GT with the ball. Another miss by GT. Walton with the rebound. Walton looking for SG Mark Pettway, Pettway gets the ball. Pettway fires up a 3 from the right corner. BANG! Pettway has scored 11 straight pts. Timeout GT3:33, Up 65-62 GT feeling the pressure now. SG Mark Pettway with a steal! We set up a play inside. C Aaron Lappas was blocked by GT's PF Josh Boythe. Still no foul. That is Boythe's 10th block of the game. Loose ball in favor of GT. Boythe double teamed in the corner, and puts up a forced shot. Missed. We get the rebound. Timeout2:26, Up 65-62 Can't get the ball to SG Mark Pettway, We went to PF Chris Lucas down low. Lucas had a good look, but can't get it to drop. Rebound GT. GT's Josh Boythe puts up a long jumper. Miss. Long rebound grabbed by Boythe. GT reset. They go to Boythe again. The jumper by Boythe is good! Boythe has a triple double. Timeout1:39, Up 65-64 SG Mark Pettway got himself momentarily open at the corner. Pettway fakes a 3, moves closer, pulls up a jump shot. Pettway scores! Up 3. GT goes back to PF Josh Boythe, and Boythe nails a pressure-packed jump shot from about 18 feet. Timeout0:56, Up 67-66 We dump the ball to C Aaron Lappas. Our players are spaced well, leaving Lappas against a single coverage. Lappas goes strong inside, and Lappas scores! Timeout GT0:47, Up 69-66 Refs called a foul on SG Mark Pettway way beyond the 3pt line. There was nothing much into it and I wanted to argue, but I couldn't afford a technical now. That was Pettway's 5th foul. Pettway has scored 26 of his 28 pts here in the 2nd half, including 13 of our last 15. GT's SG Marlon Watson goes to the line. Watson splits. C Aaron Lappas grabs the board. I called my last timeout0:35, Up 69-67 GT had to give up 2 fouls to get into penalty. PF Chris Lucas goes to the line. Makes the 1st. The 2nd FT would give us a 2 possession lead. Lucas makes the 2nd! Timeout GT0:25, Up 71-67 We disrupted them on the back court to waste some time. SG Dickey Walton called up for a foul. Not part of the pan, but the calls have not been kind to us today. GT's SG Marlon Watson heads back to the line, who earlier splits his FTs. Missed the 1st! Makes the 2nd0:20, Up 71-68 GT immediately fouls. PG Eugene Tucker to the line for a 1-and-1, Makes the important 1st. And also the 2nd. Timeout GT0:17, Up 73-68 GT's PF Josh Boythe takes a desperation 3. Missed. That should do it! What a gritty win. A big test, and we passed it!
