Michigan State basketball dropped a frustrating, disappointing game to UCLA last night in a game that, in all honesty, both teams probably shouldn’t have had to play. The Spartans lost by 6 to the Bruins in overtime of a First Four play-in game that seemed to only exist as a ratings draw for the opening slate.
Nevertheless, UCLA came out victorious, but Bruins head coach Mick Cronin was highly complimentary of Tom Izzo and MSU in his post game remarks.
You can watch his full press conference here:
“Look, it didn't break us. I was worried about it, about the guys losing their confidence. At some point, it would have been easy to pack it in. We’ve got to come across the country to play Michigan State."
