Memphis-UCLA

Associated Press

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute was a nervous freshman playing his first college game
away from Pauley Pavilion. John Calipari’s crew had
yet to discover its chemistry. Even though Memphis
and UCLA met once already this season, it was so long ago there’s not much
either side can glean from that November game as they prepare to play again
Saturday with a trip to the Final Four at stake. The Tigers (33-3) won that
first meeting 88-80. UCLA has won 10 straight games, including the triumph
Thursday already considered one of the best comebacks in tournament history. Memphis,
featuring four freshmen and three sophomores playing regularly, is riding a
seven-game winning streak and has 22 victories in its last 23 games. The Bruins
haven’t faced another team as athletic as Memphis,
which loves to run and spread the floor for leading scorer Rodney Carney.
