It was all part of a brilliant plan. Cronin told the team to lose badly, to never contest open shots, and to play lousy offense with no real plan. The goal was to get blown out and get everybody to think that UCLA was done. Meanwhile, he has a real solid plan that is going to get UCLA to another Final Four, when nobody is expecting it. In other words, he's playing possum.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
