Don't screw with Mick's dad. He's his hero....And there is no way it was instigated by Hep. I like how the players and coach got up at exactly the same time....
I just read a brief article that Josh Lewin the voice of UCLA basketball right away noticed that some Arizona fans yelled at Hep. I don’t know how the incident started or why it occurred in the first place. Like what all of you have said classless. You win with class and you lose with class. Congratulations to Arizona for winning the title and I hope Hep is okay and well.
are we sure this wasn't instigated by Bruin fans? I would like to see video evidence because so far the only thing I have heard is from 1 UCLA radio announcer...
I love this team ❤💛💚 . I love the coach . They will be ready for the tournament . I was 2 years younger than Ben Howland and played against him during his Cerritos hs days with Guderian and Scott . Ben was a good coach but i think Mick will be a legend , 2nd to the wizard of Westwood John Wooden
Ben Howland was an excellent coach. Unfortunately he ran into a Florida team that was better. Howland got run off because he never produced an up tempo offense. But his team defense was extraordinary. What people dont realize was Wooden's defense was always excellent. Wooden brought the full court press to life. This up tempo created a fast pace to his offense's. Of course having Alcinder/Jabbar and Greatful Dead/ Walton didnt hurt. But his teams of Roe Wicks Paterson and Erickson Hazard Goodrich were built on pressure defense. Wooden coached to his players talent. I see Cronin doing exactly that. This year Cronin has 6 freshmen. Hopefully next year he has 6 sophomores. They will compete if Amari and Adem return.
Proud of this team. This wasn't a bad loss at all. I liked that shot! Just wish David Singleton was more involved. Maybe get him corner 3's with dribble drives. We gotta get the best shooter his shot.
The one that still bothers me is Bailey dunking on Larrson but they call Bailey for an offensive foul, he didn’t extend his arm out like the refs indicated, he went straight up. To move on, It’s going to interesting how bad Adem Bonas shoulder really is and what Jaylen Clark’s status is. Without them or even one of them they will have some issues at both ends of the floor. You gotta hope and pray that they get better.
Will echo what others below have said. Very proud of this Bruin team !. The on court effort was the epitome of "4's Up". We were considerably short-handed, as well as being undersized. No disrespect to U of A, but with Clark and Bona out, that made a huge difference, and will come tournament time. Props to the kid who hit that big shot for the Cats, very clutch. But, I was not impressed with AZ. They should have won that game by 10 points or more. I have so much respect for this team !!
When, may I ask politely, did you EVER see refs foul out the only two big men left on a team when they were already down their starter Adem Bona in any basketball game? Also coach CMC was correct about Bailey's dunk....their defensive man was clearly INSIDE THE RESTRICTED AREA!!
Mike I'm a bruins fan from 1950s to present day. Etienne and Knuba sp???? Are not braintrusts. Etienne is young and emotional. Knuba is under schooled. He just hasnt played enough. The 2 bigs for Az. Are simply better. They both fouled out because the Az bugs were better. Jaquez and Singleton didnt have their A games. So we lost. What is incredible is that UCLA just doesn't quit. This team may not win it all but they play as if their hair is on fire. That is why Cronin is bald. His team is an extension of him.
@@elliotbennett1953 Good point! Still, regardless of the fact that AZ big men are better than our 2 back-up big men, the refs fouled out both with many questionable fouls. Regardless, with Bona back the Bruins will make their run. TX
But realty prevails and dreams are just that. Could of, would of beens makes one live in sorrows rather that in purpose. The hardest life experiences take us to our best. These collegiate basketball players are excellent men win or lose. Some coaches, however, need to man up to the moment when heart breaking losses happen. I didn't see that happen in this post-game interview.
There's no arguing that Arizona is the BEST TEAM in the Pac-12. They beat UCLA 2/3 times this year, beat Creighton, Indiana, Tenessee. Not to mention Ąžuolas Tubelis, who has more PPG, rebounds and FG% than Jamie Jaquez ("POTY"). Not to mention Tommy Lloyd, who has the record for most wins in a coach's first 2 season (but somehow Cronin is "COTY"?). UCLA is always overrated because they're an LA school.
Steve, Tubelis plays offense. He is a cardboard cut out on defense. That is why Jaquez was Player of the year. Learn something about the game before flapping your lips.
I hate these tournaments. We have the Pac12 defensive player and the Pac12 freshman of the year out due to injury. The Bruins played hard considering they lost two of their best players.
Bruins still Bruins. Ucla, in a way, got a loss out of their system. The hunger and drive is probably stronger. They will still go into the "real tournament" as favorites. Seems they can win under all circumstances. CC is raising men. in this era of soy boys, he's showing them how to behave manly. Loved his walk-off.
The U of A should investigate the Hep Cronin incident. The family that was involved should be banned from ever attending another U of A game. Clearly this is another classless act by U of A fans. Arizona officials need to make an example so that U of A fans learn the word class. Every game U of A plays moving forward I will be pulling for their opponent. Even if that opponent is Kanass or Kenfucky. Both teams I hate.
@@MarcFuego yes Markass Mac Etienne was held out of games and received counseling. Coach Cronin disciplined Etienne. Meanwhile, your Boobcat fans instigated a confrontation with an 82 year old retired coach, who happens to be the father of Mic Cronin. The confrontation could be heard on radio. The radio announcers repeatedly told your fans to leave and conduct themselves appropriately. Tucson fans rank somewhere near the bottom of a toilet. As usual it takes a dozen or more of Boobcat fans to work up the courage to confront a geriatric. LMAO .
@@Shady4sUp kansas bought their title last year. In a couple of years the NCAA will take the title away. It takes a while to revoke the title because Kansas hired attornies to defend the defenseless. Self is a cheater. Just like the last Arizona coach. I think his name was Ididnothingwrong. The admin at Arizona sent him packing. They now have a real coach who recruits Europeans because most USA players know Tucson is not in the USA. Kentucky is a one and done school. This year it is a one and dont get along with each other school. CALIGULA is a cheater also.
Maybe UCLA should investigate Hep and ban him from games if he's going to start fights and assault minors. "Immediately following the UCLA game, Hep Cronin physically assaulted our friend’s son, a 17 year old, hitting the minor in the face and neck. Unprovoked. The minor was crossing the front row with his mother, where they had tickets, to join the father at the other end of the row to leave the game. Hep was sitting in this row. Hep told the boy and his mother that ‘they weren’t allowed by.’ The kid and his mother crossed anyway to reach the kid’s dad, at which point Hep started the shoving the kid, and then struck him in the face and neck. In the following scuffle, the kid’s dad tried to reach his child, and was thrown out of the arena by security and police. Police REFUSED to take a report or press charges, stating that ‘Hep told him not to walk in front of him.’ On a public row, where they were sitting, where they had tickets. Multiple people witnessed this."
The game was on the line in last min.s. Cronin has to put the ball in hands of its star players to shoot! Not Will McClendon chucking up 3's who barely played all season. Jaquez avoided Tyger in last seconds. Tyger clearly could have made last shot! So, Jaquez gives ball to its Freshman! Dylan Andrew's. Jaquez, Tyger, Singleton, Amari, shoot the damn ball for a game winner! NOT freshman in game winning moments. UcLa , You Get what you deserve!!
Sour grapes to say “get some rest and get ready for the real tournament.” Hey, you got beat in your last pac12 game ever. Hurts, I know. Also, reporters shouldn’t try to throw stench on a wildcat victory by injecting a fan issue, and trying to paint all Arizona fans with the same brush. Stupid!
What's funny is that if the tables had been turned and UCLA had won, I'm sure their classless fan would have done the same thing. Mick Cronin, stop making excuses. Your team lost, and you should not be a troll. Also, stop teaching your players to generate fouls into their opponents' faces with their elbows. Also, good luck in the BIG 10, because if you thought PAC12 fans were rowdy, you haven't seen nothing yet.
A couple of things: 1) just for kicks, can you offer some examples of UCLA acting classless and how rowdy Big-10 fans are? I know they are passionate, but I would like a distinction against the typically boorish behavior of Arizona fans. Total freakin' cretins, just as we see yet again with behavior towards an 81 year old man; 2) I'd never hire anyone from Arizona, its a mediocre school filled with undistinguished Arizonans and SoCal 's UC and USC rejects; its a very rare occurrence when the "U of school (Arizona) " is vastly inferior to the already lousy state school. Sad when you - let alone anyone - is owned by ASU. UCLA: number one rated public school in the country (USN&WR/WSJ) and the most applied to school in the world, with therefore with lowest acceptance rate among public schools nationally. Oh yeah, forgot: NCAA Championships - Arizona 19, ......UCLA 120
Jaquez is ready to throw down for Hep
He'll have to get in line behind Tracy Murray. Jaquez should just play. Heck Hep could probably take the U of A fan and family without help.
Don't screw with Mick's dad. He's his hero....And there is no way it was instigated by Hep. I like how the players and coach got up at exactly the same time....
I would be swinging for hepp
Dude is 81 years old… This is beyond classless
@@JasonParasOfficial Indeed

Funny how the Pac-12 version cuts the last bit off
Thank God they are leaving that horrible conference
With 2 starters out I was afraid it would come to this.
I am still proud of my Bruins & this is far from over.
Wish I was on this team! That's Brooklyn when I grew up at the end of the press conference.
Proud of this team. This wasn't a bad loss at all. I liked that shot! Just wish David Singleton was more involved. Maybe get him corner 3's with dribble drives. We gotta get the best shooter his shot.
You are right. And Singleton knows he was a no show. Cronin loves Singleton but Singleton needs to play much better for the bruins to win.
Of anything this proves ucla is good to barely lose because ucla vs refs and 2 starters out

@@travisfoerster9984 Yes that call was complete BS the refs should be fired, Let’s pray bona will be good for the tourney
