Myself like most experts thought Michigan was too big for UCLA to handle.....UCLA plays darn good defense. Also UCLA plays great free throw defense...They held Bama to 44% FT shooting and Michigan to 54%
What's funny is Cronin was way down their list of coaches to hire....after the Rick Barnes deal. Their fans were upset with the Cronin hire...bet they aren't upset now, I said after they hired him they made a good hire....his team plays very hard on both end of the court and you can tell the players like him.
