Lonzo Ball Looking to Carry UCLA in NCAA Tournament: 'Big-Time Players Step Up'

UCLA Bruins star guard Lonzo Ball is more than ready for March Madness.

Heading into Friday night's first-round bout with the No. 14-seeded Kent State Golden Flashes, the projected lottery pick talked about shining when the lights are brightest in college hoops.

"Big-time athletes step up in those moments they're needed," he said.

Ball, of course, has some experience doing so. Just ask the Oregon Ducks.
