he can develop effective game plans in the tournament and get the team to execute them. In each of UCLA's previous tournament appearances under Cronin, their runs ended in games that weren't decided until the final minute (twice in the final seconds).
This year's team listens to Cronin when it wants to. Many here thought yesterday's game was a tossup at best. Some questionable pundits had the Bruins on upset alert. But the team executed the game plan almost flawlessly.
It will take a similar performance tomorrow but history proves it's possible.
Finally, teams with a 33% chance of winning win about 33% of the time. That's one out of three, just a little worse than a coin flip. All of the spreads see this as a two possession game, and anyone can win a game that turns on two made baskets at the end.
GO BRUINS!
