Go Bruins great win, happy Cronin is being more postitive!
We're still too reliant on iso ball on offense, but love the overall toughness and fight from the players. Gotta build upon this and keep getting better, and the wins will follow. Go bruins!
Why can't he just be happy. I don't need to hear about Purdue and their injuries. Sky Clark is still hurt. Also, they have 5 if 6 at home, starting tonight.
Great game. Congratulations to the Bruins.
Awesome win.
All us Bruin Basketball fans needed disya one
I'm proud of our guys. We played with tenacity, and although we still struggle with rebounding, we did a hell of a lot better on the boards tonight. Also Donnie played the quintessential facilitator tonight and showed us what he is capable of. There was much better ball movement tonight in a high court awareness way that led to a lot of points on assists. I like Eday's, Trent's, Bili's and Donnie's fearlessness, no goddamn tentativeness that i could see, and look what happened: No unraveling with 11 minutes to go or 7 minutes to go!!! GO BRUINS!!
Getting Lavin vibes. Nice win but still below UCLA standards.
Tbh, I don’t like Cronin. There are better ways to get the most out of your team, and build up your players. Glad for the guys on the team and the fans that they got this win, esp after collapses in other hard fought games this season. UCLA will have limits in the growth of this program however with Cronin’s ego on the sidelines. Am usually not critical, but shooting this one straight.
Donovan dent you got it in you bro I knew you did
The move to the Big 10 was a mistake by Martin Djarmond who should be terminated.
Good win. Good to be honest. And, honestly, that's why top tier recruits pass on UCLA. No top-tier recruit is going to choose a school where the style of play is wrestling and fouling. First good win of the year. If you want to be a Top 10 team in the 21st-century, teaching Chuck Daly basketball isn't going to get top recruits.
This dude whines constantly….. after a big victory, just complains about everything. The players must love his positivity. 🤕 That said, I feel for the west coast teams having to come east all the time. I travel for work so I live that lifestyle and it wears on you, BUT you adjust accordingly. Deal with it, Cronin!
This dude is legit. Boiler Up!
