U!!! C!!! LLLL!!! A!!! UCLA Fight! Fight! Fight!! I am sooo proud to be a Bruin right now, and have these outstanding young men and Coach Cronin to thank for that. Go, Bruins!!
I don't even know what to say. This is just so awesome. Thanks to Coach Cronin and his staff and all the TEAM for an amazing ride so far. So much heart. I'm certain Coach is smiling.
Gonzaga looks unbeatable, but we met them in the tournament before...
Thank goodness no one had to go bananas over how the Bruins defended any last-second, wide-open makes by Michigan... :-) The Wolverines sure blew quite a few shots right near the basket and those two jumpers at the end. The Bruins' ultimate challenge is next--to make the overall tournament 1-seed Gonzaga go home crying again. Hope UCLA remains competitive and doesn't fumble and flop in a total blowout loss like U$C . Good luck Bruins!!!
I can just imagine Coach Calipari cringing every time an announcer, reporter, or writer uses the words "Kentucky transfer, Johnny Juzang". Great clutch shooting night, so glad he's a Bruin!
What a run UCLA has had in this tournament. I woke up this morning thinking for a moment thinking this was all just some sort of dream. Then reality kicked in and I smiled.
I am still waiting to watch the game (thank God someone invented recording live tv)...so I won't comment on any specifics...a thought that has been made by many, but is still true is this is the difference between being coached, and being coached up. It was really easy to despair the last couple weeks while the Team was losing leads, and games...but, Coach Cronin has definitely been able to impart his process, and the Team has bought in 100%.
And for any recruits out there that are on the bubble, or were not even looking at UCLA...you need to stop and take look!
Thriller of a game, and, yes, our Bruins reached deep inside themselves to grind out this win. BTW, Mich shot 6 of 11 for free throws, we were 6 of 7. On to Saturday!
I hate the way the announcers were already expecting us to lose. They way they commented things like "Michigan needs to get going" and other nonsense. Talk about remaining objective.
Watching how Juzang has performed in the tournament. Playing better than most of the guys who are projected lottery picks. Makes me wonder if he is going stay at UCLA next season or go pro? Clearly he has the skills that would translate well for the NBA.
Nobody expected this... especially not me. I’ve been eating crow for my celebratory meal for a few weeks now. This team has outperformed when it matters most and it’s been a joy to watch... go bruins!
David Woods of BRO just posted some interesting stats on Twitter: up to this point of the season and postseason, UCLA has played the 17th toughest schedule in the country according to Kenpom, which is tougher than the schedules of any of the other final four teams. UCLA holds the best win (Michigan) of the remaining teams and doesn’t hold the worst loss (Houston has losses (yes, plural) worse than UCLA’s worst loss at Wash. St)
Given all that, it’s pretty impressive what the short handed Bruins have accomplished this season and definitely puts their season into a different perspective.
I'm looking for a single ticket to Saturday's game...Any hookups???? I live in Wisconsin and Indy is only a 4-hour drive...Go Bruins: dr.vicmoreno@gmail.com
I just want to get into the comments here before you all go crazy and let you know that I love every single one of you. Yes, even you.

Is there any doubt now that Cronin is the right coach for this program?
