USC Sunday Buzz: Mick Cronin Talked To Mike Bohn About Big Ten Backlash

UCLA coach Mick Cronin was unhappy last night about the NCAA Tournament’s top-16 seeds preview, which had the Bruins seeded No. 8.

And he suggested the seeding is a backlash to UCLA moving to the Big Ten.

“I’m going to try not to laugh and I would refer you to our administration. And this will be the only time I address it – the reason I would refer you to Martin Jarmond, I know he’s here tonight, or anybody else – when we left the Pac-12, it cost a lot of people millions of dollars and there’s going to be fallout.

“I even talked to my old AD, Mike Bohn, about it. I think it’s a direct result of that. I’m not going to put the pieces together for you on how that affects that, but comical. If you ask my one-word answer on that ranking? Comical.”

Others would argue UCLA’s lack of elite wins might be keeping their seeding from being higher.

Anyways, at least he is talking to Bohn. Their relationship wasn’t great when Cronin left Cincinnati for UCLA because Bohn said Cronin told him he wasn’t leaving Cincy.

  2. So morbid. People lie when it comes to pleasure. It’s not like UCLA is a legitimate threat to win the tourney anyway. USC has a better chance, if they can stay aggressive.

    1. Rah-Rah beer fart.

      At a minimum, UCLA S/B a #2 Tournament seed.

      SUCC, on the other hand, may need to play into the Tournament. As we all know, Andyain’twinning is notorious for executing Tournament “One and Done” termination.

      1. I apologize. I forgot about all those first rounders that come out of UCLA and dominate.

        It must be so painful to see USC have more All-Stars than UCLA. Again.

      1. Gee whiz MM, the NCAA just released its Top 16 team list for possible tournament seedings. UCLA was rated #8 or translated for a bozo halfwit, means UCLA, at a minimum, is a good bet for a #2 seed.

        Oddly though MM, bozo BB wasn’t listed. Going OOOOOO for Oregon is typical of Andyain’twinning’s Hot/Cold, inconsistent team. BB is a team orientated sport; all star players don’t necessarily mean NC success…ex.- E. Mobley was on the court when the bozo’s choka, choka, choka, choked in their Elite Eight, Gonzaga, 19 point blow out debacle.

    1. Dean Smith, Bobby Knight, Pete Newell, Don Haskins, Guy Lewis, all were quoted about Wooden’s dirty program. An LA Times reporter wrote an f’ing book about the corruption at ucla, and how “Papa” Sam Gilbert was available, 24/7 for $$$$ for the players. Walton, Curtis Rowe, Sidney Wicks, Lucious Allen, all were quoted about the “gifts” they received from Gilbert, who was part of a crime syndicate.

      Hey ownsie, minnie mick is a liar. Just like wooden and everyone else who worked at ucla basketball back in the day

    2. Damn LJ, so squeaky clean Andyain’twinning didn’t know his Asst. HC Tony “$100 bill” Bland was buying recruits. Shouldn’t he have?

      And LJ, what’s up with Andyain’twinning employing the Mobley Bros. Ta-Ta as a ATM. You think Wooden needed to employ a recruit’s Ta-Ta to land a 5 star recruit?

      Like Andyain’twinning doesn’t lie and cheat. Enfield cheats Clown U out of his contract salary worse than Helton ever did.

      And then of course, with 10 minutes to go and a 12 point lead, Little Petey snatches defeat from the jaw of victory and a NC.

  11. I don’t get this idea of trying to dissipate or equivocation of USC to the lack of relevance that UCLA will be in basketball. The Bruins won one championship without cheating. Walt Hazzard was forced to attend Santa Monica College because he went to a Catholic prep school. Thankfully, they let him in and the winning (and cheating) began. Why does USC have more all-stars in basketball than UCLA? Can’t they get that right? Do they do anything of value in sports? Is that why they need to cling to USC? They need a loan to pay off Cal-Berkeley? Finding USC faults but ignoring the mountain of failure that UCLA has administered displays the type of vulgarity of a Republican election denial hack. A repetitive Kari Lake.

  12. Memo to: TIREDBUMMER, SUCC’s Tiny Tim impersonator.

    1) Follow you own senile advice: Get a new UCLA Schtick.

    2) After trailing 17 – 3, Utah scored 44 points to SUCC’s measly, 7 points primarily in the 2nd half…the pertinent truth ‘BUMMER, bozo U choka, choka, choka, choked as usual. How sweet it was.

    I’m thinking you should definitely take a vacation to Crabs, dirty, filthy City of Las Vegas. Camp at a cheap, smelly Motel 6, work on your lame TT act, and be sure to take a side trip to Pahrump, NV, and check out Pahrump’s world famous, giant desert cockroaches…birds of a feather as it were ‘BUMMER.
