UCLA Basketball: Why the Bruins will win the Pac-12 in 2019-20

Mick Cronin. He is the reason the UCLA basketball team will win the regular season championship (and quite possibly the Pac-12 Tournament) in his first year with his new squad. This claim is not an exaggerated endorsement of Cronin; this is merely a rational observation of a man that will bring fundamentals, accountability, and consistency to the program that has talent but needs leadership.

If we look back on the last few seasons, these are the essential traits that have eluded the Bruins, to no fault of their own. When you are coached a certain way and not coached on certain (imperative) parts of the game, holes will develop and become part of the culture.
