 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Memphis coach John Calipari was right about at least one thing — UCLA is greatly improved since the teams first met back in November.
Unfortunately for Calipari, he couldn't say the same thing Saturday about his top-seeded Tigers. Clanking miss after miss, Memphis fell 50-45 to UCLA, falling one win shy of the school's first trip to the Final Four since 1985.
Memphis made just 17 of 54 shots (31.5 percent), missed its first 14 3-pointers and needed a 3-pointer in the final second by Rodney Carney to avoid scoring its fewest points in 27 years.
