The Bruins, coming off being ‘overconfident’ in their win over Stanford, try to extend their home winning streak to 23 games Saturday night
UCLA coach Mick Cronin said his fourth-ranked Bruins came into Thursday night’s 73-64 win over Stanford “overconfident.”UCLA extended its home winning streak to 22 games with a victory over the Cardinal“I told our guys, ‘What did you think was going to happen?’” Cronin said. “We handled them at their place, they got some good players on that team, for three days they’re getting ready for us, coming in to play one of the best teams in the country on the road.
The game had the trimmings for an upset – and it felt like one was brewing for multiple stretches – but the Bruins buckled down. If complacency was an issue against a formidable opponent like Stanford, it might be the bigger concern against Cal on Saturday night. The Golden Bears are 3-23 overall and 2-13 in Pac-12 Conference play after“It’s all a coach’s paranoia when you have to beat a team twice, which we have to do the rest of the way other than Arizona,” Cronin said. “It’s paranoia because your guys tend to think it’s going to be a little bit easier .
The fiery coach has guided UCLA to 14 consecutive wins midway through the season, marking the program’s longest winning streak since a 14-game run late in the 2007-08 basketball season under former head coach Ben Howland. The Bruins currently rank No. 7 in the country in fewest points allowed per game and No. 8 in scoring margin . UCLA’s 22-game winning streak at home is the country’s longest, but the Bruins have won their last 33 home games with fans present in the arena .
