The Bruins will look to stay unbeaten in Pac-12 play Sunday in Seattle, two days after overcoming a 12-point first-half deficit at Washington State
No matter how ugly, a Pac-12 Conference road victory is always welcomed by UCLA men’s basketball coach Mick Cronin, who once said, “When you win on the road in conference play, you get a shower, something to eat and that’s it. It’s not supposed to be pretty.”
Now, the 11th-ranked Bruins will turn around and take on a more challenging Washington team at 4 p.m. Sunday in Seattle.on Friday night, the Bruins shot just 36% from the field, including a 26% clip in the first half. Yet somehow, UCLA’s defense allowed just one field goal from the Cougars in the final 7:23 of the game.“The key to the game was we didn’t give up,” Cronin said. “Nothing was going our way all night. … I thought we’d be in a dog fight.
