Amari Bailey bails out Jaylen Clark-depleted Bruins in comeback over Colorado

LA Times  

UCLA guard Amari Bailey drives to the basket over Colorado’s Nique Clifford during the first half of the Bruins’ 80-69 win in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals Thursday. “Our guys, as usual, get tougher as the game goes on,” Bruins coach Mick Cronin said after his team notched its 11th consecutive victory on the way to a semifinal showdown Friday against fourth-seeded Oregon. We’re trying to figure out ways to get his confidence going.” As expected, Cronin started David Singleton in Clark’s place and gave Will McClendon and Dylan Andrews extra minutes off the bench. “There’s a little thing called HIPAA, OK?” Cronin said, referring to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that protects patient health information from unauthorized disclosure.
