UCLA M. Basketball Postgame - vs. North Carolina (Dec. 21, 2024)

[@pancakes649]

He’s blaming the refs and players for the loss. I’d hate if this guy was my coach

[@tnekeroom9897]

Luckily ur garbage and Cronin would never consider taking ur bum as on his team

[@Jadedjoey]

You didn’t listen to it at all did you? Or is it just that North Carolina education ? 😂

[@fleurybreedin3682]

I listened. Gives no credit to the scrappy team with heart, and put all the blame on his PG, the refs, and missing FT’s instead of taking some responsibility. Not classy.

[@bcschamp123]

​@@fleurybreedin3682lets be freaking honest the coach is not the one playing. Yes ucla pgs were terrible secondhalf. Coach not the one shooting ft.

[@randallmadison9910]

​@bcschamp123 Everyone blames the coach. Missed the free throws. Tyler was cool about it. Gotta do the fundamentals and make free throws. Failed on critical element of the game. You fail on a critical element, normally you lose. Not a failure of coaching today. Probably will happen before the season ends, but not in the North Carolina loss.

[@SigAXG320]

Just an absolutely brutal loss. Refs were awful but if they don’t miss those FT’s, they win this game. End of story.

[@fleurybreedin3682]

UNC missed a lot of FT they usually make, sooooooo

[@JacobGeigel]

Both teams were missing a lot of free throws, ucla did miss more I’m pretty sure but Unc still missed alot

[@ncbeach22]

Refs sucked on both sides.

[@JacobGeigel]

@@ncbeach22 yea, Jalen Washington couldn’t even play defense without getting a foul called on him.

[@tuckh22]

Don’t get how the refs were terrible only for UCLA?? Definitely some questionable calls on both sides down the stretch

[@Wuftalksports]

As horrible as the refs were this lost was on us. 1. Tyler picked up a dumb 4th foul that he should’ve just let him go. 2. Missed free throws 3. Mick Cronin waited 10 minutes to put Tyler back in the game when they were down one after just being up 16 4. Dylan Andrew’s should not be in the game at the end of the game. 5. Dylan Andrew’s has not improved since he been here. Mick have to let it go. He’s supposed to be a veteran and just has not improved at all. He adds no value to the team. We deserved to lose this game

[@fleurybreedin3682]

And UNC was scrappy and played with a lot of heart.

[@Wuftalksports]

@ unc is trash and got lucky with a lucky win. They won’t finish 500 when tournament play start

NO EXCUSES!! Why can’t the “Blue Blood Bruins” make free throws?!? They better be in Pauley every day shooting FT’s, instead of Cronin making EXCUSES!!!

Maybe Andrews should dump the ponytail & play tough...

[@esmith6022]

Great game! Each team played hard !!!

[@Paolo1964]

I'm a fan of the coach, but i think the blame falls on him. It shouldnt have been this close. Lazar needs to start. We need his skill at the FT line, and his shooting.

[@1979Tron]

colossal collapse down the stretch. embarrassing. For once it would be nice too look good on the national stage, really hoping we can show up nationally against Gonzaga.

[@BDeyone]

Total class 🙄 Refs suck alot. I'm sure there could be clips pulled of bad/no calls for both, but his actions during the game, and after..welll.

[@fleurybreedin3682]

Yep, trying to throw the responsibility on the refs, his pg not playing up to his standards, missing FT, and not giving UNC any credit for their scrappy play, instead of taking some of the responsibility for their loss.

[@fleurybreedin3682]

Come on coach, you can’t say for sure you would have won if he had not fouled out. Getting guys in foul trouble is part of the game. Give UNC some credit. They were scrappy and played with a lot of heart.

[@jcray2319]

,Carolina Just Kicked Some UClA BUTT THATS ALL

[@MrMiniPancakes]

No questions about Mack doing well or Andrew’s sucking wind?

[@timlewis9873]

Same ole Bruins, can't hit a foul shot. I'm sure they were shooting 3's and dunking before the game.

[@frankbrown2830]

Watched second half. Having players that can make free throws is essential to winning. Don’t know what’s wrong with Dylan but he might need to sit for a few.

[@JCSANDOVAL56]

UCLA just beat Oregon who beat SDSU, Texas A&M, and Bama (who beat UNC by 15 at UNC). I’d say they are a good team.

[@fleurybreedin3682]

@@JCSANDOVAL56 All teams have bad games.Even the best ones. Your logic is because a team had a bad game that makes you better than all of the teams they beat. That’s delusional.

[@peda15]

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.

[@Doucheydouche]

We missed a bunch of free throws and had some ridiculous turnovers. This is what Cronin’s teams do. They can’t keep leads against good teams and either lose or end up winning nail biters. He talks about how much better we were with “Tyger and Dave” but those teams lost in the same manner. They blew big leads in big games. It’s like his teams practice it. And of course he continues to throw his teams under the bus because that’s what he enjoys. He’s not the guy for us. We need a coach who can win titles at UCLA. This “tough loser” nonsense has gotten really really old. It was old when Howland was at the school. I don’t know how the school continues to win titles in non-revenue sports. We have no standards in this sport or in football.

[@MrSirodrof]

Cronin gave no credit to UNC for coming back 😂 He said his team gave the game up which UCLA fouled up the game. I know UCLA was gonna win once RJ Davis missed the free throw to tie the game. Then UCLA turned the ball over 🤷🏿‍♂️ Not sure how that happened . UCLA did shoot some free throws at the end , they just missed opportunities Go Heels 💪🏿

[@peda15]

@@Doucheydouche no doubt ucla could’ve overcame this horrible officiating and shot themselves in the foot. It should’ve never come down to that

[@peda15]

@@Doucheydouche Oh had to stop following UCLA football. I was a fan from 1989-2022. They don’t care about winning when it comes to that program. I just can’t deal with caring anymore. I feel bad for Deshaun Foster.

[@Doucheydouche]

@@peda15yeah, if you do the math, we lost the final twelve plus minutes by 18 points. They were 18 points better than us over that final stretch. Credit to Carolina and all that, but that’s disgraceful.

[@DjEcash]

Let the reporters finish their question! Why is he mad at the reporters because his team was unprepared. Is this coach always that much of an a-hole? If so I feel sorry for the players.

[@FredVlasuk]

They've missed FTs all sesaon long. Missed a ton against Arizona and almost cost them that game. It bit them today. That could happen in a tournament game. Have got to clean that up. Tyler 1for his last 4. 74%.Mack 0 for 4 against Arizona. 80%. Just gotta make em. So much for a 'neutral site ' game. Arizona at Phoenix, UNC in MSG. Can UCLA get anybody from the east to come out west to play them in Sacremento?Would be nice for once. Even the announcers seemed like they were pulling for UNC. It got a little annoying.

[@TryingToDoBetter01]

The refs were horrible. Andrews is horrible. Needed to play Mara a bit more, I think. He gets rebounds and is a great rim protector

[@DTALKER]

Dylan Andrew’s doesn’t know how to execute the offense always dribbling the ball too long before he starts the offense. He (and others) also need to work on passing the ball to Mara inside as NC had no players to defend him. Cronin needs to practice this repeatedly until Mara receives the ball inside where Mara likes to receive the ball. UCLA’s offense should run their offense through Bilodeau and Mara. If Dylan Andrew’s wants to show off his dribbling skills he can do it with the Globetrotters one day. Otherwise, forget about your personal stats playing in a game on national tv and do your job as UCLA’s point guard. I wish Tiger was still here!

[@TryingToDoBetter01]

@ I remember being at a game last year at Pauley, I forget who the opponent was, but it was one of many losses. It was in December. Anyway, I yelled at Andrews (I’m sure he didn’t hear), I yelled “it isn’t that hard!” He appears to overthink and make things too hard. Keep it simple. Get the ball into the big man; I 100% agree with you. Mara is 7’3”; feed him the ball. UNC had no one close to his height. Feed him the ball. In my opinion, that late game turnover should be enough evidence for Cronin to remove him from games late when it is close. I’d remove him from being the primary ball handler. He isn’t a point guard. I’ll be at the Gonzaga game next Saturday and I hope these young men use this loss as fuel and also Cronin makes some of those adjustments. They are better than UNC, and have also been a thorn in UCLA’s side for the last two decades.

[@jcray2319]

Hey Coach Your Guys Missed Them Free Throws If They Can't Shoot Got Get Some Players

[@aaronlevario8653]

This guy can’t win the big game when it matters most!!! Very disappointing!!

[@noeeortiz9073]

The DA hate is out of pocket. Some people in the comment section saying he hasn’t improved since being here? Umm yes he has. He led our whole team in scoring last year lol. If you actually watched UCLA basketball you would know that he closed out a lot of our wins last season. Now this year he’s having to adjust to a whole new team. Give it some time. His turnover what super costly, but let’s not just can the kid over one bad play.
