 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - The way UCLA and Pittsburgh play tenacious defense, the best way to score is when the opponent can't contest the shot.
That's just what Arron Afflalo and the Bruins did. Afflalo made all 10 of his free throws and UCLA shot 23-for-26 from the line to knock off the Panthers 64-55 Thursday night in the West Regional semifinals.
The game between coaching buddies Ben Howland of the Bruins and Jamie Dixon of the Panthers was played in the style they employed in their years together at Northern Arizona and Pitt. Nearly every shot was contested and neither team cracked 43 percent shooting from the field.
