But Bailey has never been better than he was Sunday against Michigan. While UCLA played a zone defense, Bailey played in a zone - performing in a near-surreal state of relaxation and concentration. Everything came so easy, yet he played so hard. He was everywhere, with 19 points, five rebounds, six assists and three steals. He made clutch jumpers
``I thought Michigan would try to do the same thing as Miami and box me out constantly,'' he said. ``But they relied on their jumping ability, and that gave me room to move.
