It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of . But UCLA must clean up its act on the defensive end and its guards must overcome a considerable size mismatch. Point guard Jordan Farmar Jordan Robert Farmar (born November 30, 1986) is an American professional basketball player at starting point guard for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers. He was previously the starting point guard for the UCLA men's basketball team. is 6-foot-2 and backup point guard Darren Collison Darren Michael Collison (born August 23, 1987) is an American basketball player.

National Boxing Association NBA (US) n abbr (= National Basketball Association) → Basketball-Dachverband (= prospect - is 6-6, 220 pounds, Dustin Salisbery is 6-5 and Mark Tyndale 6-5. As a junior last year, Collins led Temple in scoring (17.5 points), rebounds (5.9), assists (3.6) and steals (2.8). Guard Aaron Afflalo, who won't be at a size disadvantage at 6-5, will draw the assignment of guarding Collins, along with Cedric Bozeman. ``Collins is a really special player, he's an NBA player,'' UCLA coach Ben Howland said. ``He's as good as any guard we'll see all year. He's very skilled and one of the steals leaders in the country. He can shoot, he can post you up. He handles the ball like a point guard.'' Afflalo scored a career-high 23 points in UCLA's season opener, and Bozeman had a good game as well with 13 points, four rebounds and four assists. But the most important thing for Afflalo and Bozeman might be keeping Temple's guards in check. UCLA (1-0) opened with an 83-70 victory over New Mexico State, butallowed a combined 39 points to guards Elijah Ingram and Shaun Davis. They made several layups after beating UCLA guards to the basket. ``They're probably salivating when they watch that tape and how easily (guards) went around us,'' Howland said of Temple's guards. ``We definitely have to get better guarding the dribble. Certainly, our players have to know their limitations. We want to have as good of ball pressure without getting beat off the dribble. You have to gauge that.'' --Charming Chaney: John Chaney, 73, earned a milestone Tuesday as he posted his 500th win at Temple, a 69-37 win over Army.

You look at all the great teams they've had. I have great respect for him.'' --Also: Josh Shipp (hip surgery) was cleared by his surgeon to run on a treadmill and began running Monday.
