Collison Hopes to Play in Kansas City: UCLA junior point guard Darren Collison will miss the opening games of the CBE Classic against Youngstown State. Assuming the Bruins win, he’d also miss the game against the winner of Weber State and Cal State-San Bernanardino. Collison is recovering from a sprained left knee. Doctors must give him approval to practice first, which could come today if Collison can run on a treadmill without trouble. The Bruins would play in Kansas City in the finals of the CBE Classic starting Nov. 19. [11/12/07]
