UCLA Basketball Preview: Big-Big Versus The Guards
Tony Parker may have to cover a number of players that like to drive to the hoop - Richard Mackson-USA TODAY SportsDavid v. Goliath, in this game it may literally be true size wise.
Monmouth is interesting opponent for UCLA. It is an unbalanced team but does have a decent guards and is guard heavy. Extremely guard heavy.
A great example of the latter is in their final game last year against Iona. They started three guards. Off the bench Monmouth played no forwards or centers and 7 guards (really 4, 3 were garbage time). So this may be a decent test. Coach King Rice is former Dean Smith player at North Carolina and goes fairly deep. Expect to see a lot of guards.
