The UCLA Bruins are back on the right track after an encouraging win over Boston University on Monday night. Coach Mick Cronin spoke postgame about his team's improvement of physicality and effort.
The UCLA Bruins came back home for a matchup with mid-major Boston University on Monday night, dominating the contest and winning, 71-40. Bruins coach Mick Cronin spoke after the game and credited his team's fast improvement in the effort category from last week.
"I know the score didn't indicate it, but I thought they were physical," Cronin said. "They played really hard tonight, they've been dealing with some injuries. I thought his guys gave us a physical battle obviously. Our ball pressure was an issue for them in the game, but I thought their guys played the right way. They did a good job defensively on us, they held us to 40% for the game."had a strong game on the glass in a game where he was expected to dominate.
Above all else, Cronin wanted to see a change in the effort and competitive fire from his group, something they lacked in their upset loss to New Mexico last Friday night. The last few days of practice over the weekend surely woke this team up as Cronin was not messing around.
