PHILADELPHIA — Cross one major worry off the list for UCLA.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. will play for the Bruins in their biggest game of the season.
"Jaime is going to try, guys, I can tell you," UCLA coach Mick Cronin said Thursday on the eve of his team's NCAA Tournament East Regional semifinal against North Carolina. "Unless something goes bad [in practice Thursday], I would think he's going to try. The question is, can he be effective?"
