Mick Cronin and the UCLA Bruins saw their season come to an end on Saturday night as they lost to the Tennessee Volunteers, 67-58 in the Round of 32.

It was an up-and-down season for the Bruins, as they finished with a 23-11 record.

During the postgame interviews, Cronin was asked about his future. Instead of talking about that, he decided to go after the airline the team was going to fly back on.

“Right now guys, it’s 12:40 a.m. and our season just ended,” Cronin said. “Right now my biggest concern is how bad the seats are on Allegiant flight, on that terrible plane we’re gonna have to fly home tomorrow.”

 

However, Bruins fans are definitely curious about what the team is going to do next when it comes to building their roster. Guard play was an issue the entire season, and it definitely played a huge role in the loss against a great Tennessee backcourt. Cronin has also recently been linked to the Villanova coaching vacancy.

Cronin will have to make some decisions — whether at UCLA or another program — in the coming days. The transfer portal is set to open for basketball players on Monday.
