LOS ANGELES – Steve Alford edited the question before answering it.
Might this be Lonzo Ball’s only NCAA Tournament?
“You can probably take might out of it,” the UCLA basketball coach said.
The Bruins point guard is a near certainty to enter the 2017 NBA draft, but he might be best remembered at UCLA for what he does in the next three weeks.
Ball’s only shot at the NCAA Tournament is an odd convergence of circumstances created by the one-and-done generation.
The player UCLA will depend on the most in the postseason has never experienced March Madness.
