UConn's Lamb roaring like a lion for UConn

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - When Kemba Walker charges into the heart of an opponent's defense, Jeremy Lamb watches and waits. The freshman knows defenders will commit to smothering Connecticut's star player, leaving him free to cut to the basket and score.

The skinny swingman with the long arms has been coming up big for the third-seeded Huskies during their run to the West Regional final. He's averaging 18 points in the NCAA tournament while shooting 82 percent from 3-point range and 74 percent from the field.

Lamb's confidence is soaring, too, especially since Walker trusts him in high-pressure situations.
