Chris Smith was player of the game last night for the UCLA Bruins. He had the play of the game but it was not what you might think. Ben Bolch leads off his story in the LA Times this way:
Players were milling about on the court with a little more than five minutes left in the game, UCLA’s David Singleton having just missed a three-pointer that might have been a knockout blow amid the Bruins’ big run.
Teammate Chris Smith walked over to Singleton and patted him on the chest, telling him to shoot the next time he got the ball.
