REACTION: UCLA BASKETBALL BLOWS HUGE LEAD IN CRUSHING LOSS TO NORTH CAROLINA IN CBS SPORTS CLASSIC

[@pattimartin1069]

Ugh I'm dead! The second half was brutal

[@TryingToDoBetter01]

UNC shot 35 free throws, made 24; two more makes than UCLA shot. They played aggressively and got rewarded for it.

[@biozio186]

Did they? Looked like flopping at the end of the game. Calling hand check fouls only for the trailing team and giving Riley early foul trouble was a recipe for disaster

[@peda15]

@@biozio186 Thank you! This UCLA-UNC game is one of the worst officiated one sided games I’ve ever seen. I’m not talking in hyperbole Halfway through the second half: 27 to 10 at the line 21 to 16 fouls UCLA’s best player has 4 fouls UCLA starting PG has 4 fouls Flat out disgusting. NBA level of manufacturing drama I had turn off the game at that point (while ucla was WINNING). This isn’t fair competition. Gambling ratings and money always wins.

[@TryingToDoBetter01]

@@biozio186 I agree; UNC is coached to draw fouls and they got away with a lot of heavy contact throughout the game. It was practically a home game for them and the refs were def in their pocket.

It was a home game for Carolina because New York is a big alumni base

Too many careless turnovers, too many missed FTs. Officials called the game tight and the Bruins didn't adjust. Bruins need someone other than Tyler who can make a shot when the team really needs it. The team is much better this year and I think they will learn from this.

Money make them zebras pull that crapola

[@Doucheydouche]

It really was not surprising. We had a nine point lead on Oregon with less than four minutes left and almost lost that one. Go watch our last couple tournament exits or the losses against usc. Everyone wants to talk about officiating or free throws in this particular game, but Cronin’s teams in general have this habit of building a lead and letting it slip against quality opponents. It has been happening for years. When we came back to beat Arizona, I thought “now I know how some of our opponents feel.” He’s the only common denominator for this stuff and it would be nice if he could get it fixed.

[@rockers7889]

In the last few minutes in a time out Bilodeau was in the huddle looking at coach Cronin for instructions , but he didn't even look at Tyler who was in need of guidance on the next play SMH

[@TW-nz7cx]

This losses suck but I want Gonzaga more than UNC.

[@donduran4271]

You need to make your free throws!

[@rockers7889]

Best comment here ⭐🎽🏀👍

[@kingtau]

Zero points from Kobe, and very little from Dylan is really telling! Dylan Andrews has got to get it together, points and assist! Lazar should be scoring at least 10 pts a game!

[@TW-nz7cx]

Lazar should be playing a larger role imo.

[@chrissamsell8382]

Dylan Andrews is NOT capable of being a solid PG. The sooner we accept this, the sooner we can resolve the problem. Trent Perry will eventually be a far better player. We might as well go with him now, freshman or not.

[@Paolo1964]

We need to make some lineup changes. Lazar should start over Kobe. In the beginning, we had great chemistry when Lazar came in for Kobe. Dylan should go to second string. Sebastian should be a starter.

[@thetarheeladdict]

Sounds like both teams had "same team, different game" type performances. As is made obvious by my screen name, I am a tar heel. The team has, for much of the year, had a pattern of falling behind by large amounts and having to mount a furious rally. Most of the times they have come up short. Not yesterday. It'll take a couple of months, I think, to see if either team has actually learned anything from this matchup.

[@cameroncohen4248]

Andrews is not UCLA caliber

[@MrBmick79]

Cronin isn't a UCLA caliber coach, either

[@randallmadison9910]

​@@MrBmick79Bartow, Cunningham, Brown, Farmer, Hazzard, Harrick, Lavin, Howland, Alford, Cronin. One championship in 50 years. Large sample size. Worst performance of any blue blood. Facts. More about UCLA than Cronin.

[@Thegreg_72]

Same UCLA for last decade plus now. They will beat up on the UC Santa Barbara’s and the ITT Techs; then whenever they go into Conference play or play a legit ranked team, they fold and get exposed

[@randallmadison9910]

Missed their free throws. Pretty simple.

[@chrissamsell8382]

Kobe Johnson is overrated. Zero points? Seriously?

[@yaquidancercoreexercise6743]

Dillon Andrews is overrated. But I still question the refs and their bias. I look at it this way, if the Supreme Court can’t be trusted why should the refs in sporting events since betting is acceptable.

[@cjstone28]

Really????!!

[@yaquidancercoreexercise6743]

@ really, yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[@trevorodell9832]

Whiners

[@eazye9991]

They should be ashamed of themselves the way they played the second half this team is so average

[@raulalcala5839]

Guard play was not good, Mack is not a clutch player. Terrible possession on last play, out of control.

[@ramirovillanueva4628]

Even though UCLA was the better team, obviously, NC is a good program, no doubt. Ok. 10-2 and UCLA is in tract to be a tournament team. Move on. Gonzaga is next up. On a neutral court. Learn, learn, offensively and defensively. Gonzaga will be a tuff game, yet, defeat-able. Defense wins games, complimented by solid offense

[@trevorodell9832]

That's debatable

[@trevorodell9832]

Cronin?
