Mick Cronin can once again enjoy a peaceful slumber.
Sleep had been hard to come by earlier in the week, the UCLA coach acknowledging three restless nights after a crushing defeat in the final second against Stanford on an inbounds pass that could haunt him for eternity.
The No. 23 Bruins gave their coach permission to snooze comfortably Saturday after holding on for a 57-52 victory over Oregon State at Pauley Pavilion, though there were more than a few scary moments along the way.
What had been an 11-point UCLA lead was down to three with 14 seconds to go before Oregon State called a timeout to set up a play and Beavers guard Ethan Thompson drove toward the corner.
