That said, it's pretty wild to see the players calming Cronin down on the sidelines.
From what I saw, the players were trying to calm Mick down. Including Mara. Mick looked up at Mara (and when I say up...), screamed at him sending him to the bench, and I don't think Mara played after that.
If Mick doesn't get that T, it's a different game down the stretch.
I'm not saying we weren't getting screwed by the ref's. We were. I'm absolutely looking forward to the NCAA tournament where we get ref's from outside the B10, who (B10 refs) pretty obviously have a hard on for UCLA.
If Mick didn't get that T it's a different game.
But, absolute kudo's to the players who never ever gave up. And, extra kudo's to Skyy who calmly endured a 40 minute barrage of sh*t from the Illinois fans, and played through what looked to me like it was a fairly badly turned ankle.
