Postgame - Coach Cronin, Dylan Andrews (March 14, 2024) 

Somehow I just know that next year, you guys will be blaming the Big Ten refs too.

This UCLA team is not ready to play through games where the officiating doesn’t go your way and learn how to play through it and continue just to play your game. UCLA had a lot of opportunities this year to win close games even when they weren’t getting officiating and couldn’t get over the humph. This team has no one else to blame but themselves. When a game is officiated one way then you have to adjust and play smarter without putting yourself in a situation where the official blows the whistle on you. Were there certain fouls that shouldn’t have been called? Of course but at the same time you don’t let your frustrations get the best of you and that’s what happened to this team.

@@sjsnyder223 yes

@@travisfoerster9984 true. They lost a lot of games they should’ve won

THey've been f'g us throughout. We're (along w SC) the school that put them outta business. Many of these refs will be selling pencils outta a tin cup on the corner next year w/ no employment in sight and they sure wanted to screw us to get even for doing so.

It wasn’t UCLA destroying the Pac-12, it was actually USC. USC told UCLA that they were leaving so UCLA followed suit. USC was the ones who thought they should have gotten more money from the pac-12 package deal which they didn’t. Was it still payback on UCLA? Of course because they followed USC. Not all of it is on UCLA.

@@travisfoerster9984 That's essentially BS. The B1G was after the So Cal college football TV viewership. Our area is the largest in the country and a/the major reason is bc of UCLA...and sc. There are several national polls I've seen in the last 3 years that list the nation's "most popular college football program" UCLA is c. #10, sc comes way after. The program like the school is #1 in the hearts of America.

@@travisfoerster9984 Just looked it up again. "Top 10 Most Popular College Football Teams" - UCLA is #8. Sc doesn't even make the list. Bruins get more TV eyeballs than sc ! It was us the B1G wanted and needed.

Everyone besides DA, Bona, Mack and Lazar can go honestly

Mick literally starts every other press conference saying that he needs to do a better job

^

@@uyuy72 And he never mentions specifics. It's a throw away line, and then he proceeds to blame the refs, NIL, his players, "modern culture of not being accountable", college athletics, etc.

@@losthighway4840 not sure what pressers you're listening to, but he's actually the most detailed post interview you'll see in ncaab, his understanding of the game and the reasons why his teams lose games is top tier. that is literally him telling you how he needs to coach better

Cronin is a great coach, the perfect coach for the transition to the Big Ten. I hope every one of these young men have the good sense to come back. I don’t know if it was ucla payback for destroying the pac 12 or Cronin pay back for his recent comments on the officiating, but this was Angel Hernandez level bad tonight.

Nah the refs were horrible more than any game they played this year lol it’s on video

Did you watch the game 😆 the refs were terrible

Bona will be all B1G next year because he will be allowed to play

@@hasbro35 oh yes the B10, a league known for officiating fairness, especially at home arenas. /s

There are more games that are fixed than allowed an equitable result based on talent and performance.
