“Obviously the talent level was a big gap, but I wasn’t concerned with that at all tonight. We’re concerned with getting better in certain areas. I thought our help defense was much better tonight,” Cronin said. “I thought the guys bought in. Just a great, great, great group of guys with a great team attitude.”

Cronin even had jokes after the win, having to decline an invitation to lift weights with the team after the win. 

“They’re doing a voluntary lift right now, so they asked me to go lift with them but one, I don’t want to embarrass Brandon Williams because if I take my shirt off, it’s not going to look good for him,” Cronin said. “I don’t want to embarrass him plus I got to get something to eat.”

UCLA ate during Wednesday’s game, shooting 59% from the field with Nikola Kusturica leading the way with 17 points. New Bruin Azavier Robinson made a big impact off of the bench, scoring 15 points with five assists and three steals. 

Lead guard Trent Perry displayed his playmaking abilities, dishing out a game-high 11 assists in 27 minutes of action on Wednesday. The UCLA defense forced 19 steals as a team and blocked four shots, dominating the Golden Lions offense all night long.UCLA allowed just nine points in the first half in an all-around dominant showing.

“I haven’t had a bad day coaching these guys,” Cronin said. “Nobody’s perfect but they want to do the right thing.”
