Mbah a Moute To Miss Arizona Game
By Bruin Basketball Report
UCLA Luc Richard Mbah a Moute will sit out the Arizona game due to a sprained right knee. He reportedly aggravated the knee against Arizona State on Thursday night.
An MRI taken yesterday showed no structural damage. The time frame for Mbah a Moute's return is unknown and he is questionable for next week's games.
Mbah a Moute grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds against the Sun Devils in UCLA's 60-50 win. No replacement to the line-up has been announced.
The loss of Mbah a Moute means the Bruins lose one of their best defensive players and it creates a match-up problem for the Bruins against Arizona.
It'll be interesting if the Bruins decide to go smaller with Roll or go bigger with Alfred Aboya.
But since Arizona plays without a true power forward, and both Marcus Williams and Chase Budinger are quick 6'7 wings, the Bruins may have no choice but to go smaller/quicker to match up with the Wildcats.

Dragovic Time! Seriously, he plays the same Euro-style game as Radenovic. Why not give him some run, see if he can match up with Big Ivan?
Man, I'd love to see Drag out there and see what he can do. Do it Ben!
Throw the ball into the post! Keefe and Mata are getting excellent positions, but the guards aren't feeding them, thus allowing the zone to extend.
(11:03 left in the first half.)
The guys are afraid of throwing it inside because they don't think our big guys Mata or Aboya will catch it --- and if you watch the opening minutes you understand their fear.
Even though we're not scoring our defense is shutt'in them down!
Nice DC coast to coast ala Tyus
