Press-Enterprise – Mar 24, 2007
(AP) — Arron Afflalo erased his history of mediocre big-game performances leading UCLA back to the Final Four. In an exceptional second half Afflalo scored 15 of his 24 points and the Bruins held off top-seeded Kansas for a 68-55 victory Saturday night in the West Regional championship. Afflalo also played stellar defense and Darren Collison added 14 points and four big free throws in the final seconds. The Bruins (30-5) made their halftime lead stand up in an appropriately tense meeting between two schools with rich traditions and a combined 30 Final Four appearances — including an NCAA-record 17th for UCLA next week in Atlanta. The Bruins who lost to Florida in last season's national title game could be in for a rematch: They'll meet Sunday's winner of the Gators' regional final against regon.
