UCLA guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. makes fans on both sides of the border with tenacious play
LA TimesUCLA guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. celebrates after the Bruins beat Michigan to advance to the NCAA Final Four. “I was like, man, that’s a winning player,” Mata said, “and that’s contagious to the whole team.” Two days earlier, Earl Watson, whose maternal grandparents emigrated from Guadalajara to Texas long before he starred at point guard for the Bruins two decades ago, was similarly riveted by Jaquez’s dribble side-step three-pointer in overtime. “He was just not going to let that ball go,” said Angela Jaquez, Jaime’s mother, who proudly marinated in the moment inside Lucas Oil Stadium. He’ll go 15 rounds toe to toe with anybody.” UCLA guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. looks to pass over Michigan guard Mike Smith during the first half of an Elite 8 game in the NCAA tournament on Tuesday in Indianapolis.
