UCLA men's basketball coach Mick Cronin, guard Tyger Campbell, guard Jules Bernard and guard Johnny Juzang spoke with the media following their 72-56 win over ...
So I think that was like one of the momentous plays and from there, we just kept our energy up on defense and kept making plays on offense. So in having one of the best players in the country on your team, you know, he's going to bring a lot. The sets that we were running for those plays, and then my teammates finding me, and the big men just hitting me so wide open. MC: Well, we were supposed to play them, but we all got COVID in December. I went down first, then you got it, then it was Jules. And then it just started down the line. I felt like the first three in the second half, Johnny made a great drive and kicked it out. We were supposed to play in Vegas, so now we're going to play in Philly with the season on the line. He's going to get the treatment he needs, he's going to get the rehab he needs, and hopefully he'll be good by Friday. For all three of you, you held them scoreless six and a half minutes in the first half. We just thought they do such a good on job in their pick-and-roll defense, in their pick-and-roll offense trace, that if you try to get over, he hits the roll guy. But these guys, they put the ball in the basket and they played these guys to the foul line. It was good to see him to be able to walk off the court. I think it just took some time for them to get in the rhythm of doing it and stepping up our intensity.

So in having one of the best players in the country on your team, you know, he's going to bring a lot. He's one of the best players in the country. RANDY BENNETT: Well, we were supposed to play them, but we all got COVID in December. I went down first, then you got it, then it was Jules. And then it just started down the line. Q. For all three of you, you held them scoreless six and a half minutes in the first half. We were supposed to play in Vegas, so now we're going to play in Philly with the season on the line. So we just felt we had to switch it and make them play one-on-one. But these guys, they put the ball in the basket and they played these guys to the foul line. If you try to help off the wings on the rollers, he hits the shooter. It was good to see him to be able to walk off the court. Q. Tyger, Johnny, if you could just comment on how you guys played together as a team and the team unity. But he's one of the assets, what he gives to our team. And more importantly, they got to the foul line, too.
