UCLA notched its biggest win of the season on Tuesday night as it handed Purdue its first Big Ten loss in a 69-67 thriller. But if you think the vibes were high for the Bruins after the game, think again. Head coach Mick Cronin used his media availability to lay into the Big Ten for the way it built UCLA's schedule.
"I want to thank the Big Ten for giving us five of our first seven on the road, bringing Purdue here on Thursday night when we don't get back in L.A. until Saturday night and giving us the team picked to win the league on two days' rest after five of our first seven on the road," Cronin said. "Really, I want to thank the Big Ten for that."
