UCLA head coach Mick Cronin didn’t hold back when he called out his team for lacking toughness—and he might be right. The Bruins have struggled to assert themselves near the rim, relying heavily on perimeter scoring rather than dominating inside. Their top frontcourt player, Blideau, plays more like a stretch guard, earning most of his points from the outside rather than battling in the paint.
Cronin’s comments come at a difficult time, as UCLA now faces a tough road test against Maryland, a team loaded with physical post players. The Terrapins boast two interior forces in 6'10" freshman phenom Derik Queen, a future NBA prospect, and 6'9" bruiser Julian Reese, who thrives on physicality and aggressive play under the basket. Maryland's size and strength in the paint could be the decisive factor in this matchup.
Expect the Terrapins to control the boards and dominate the paint, which should pave the way for a statement win at home. Given Maryland's 1-3 record in league play, this game is crucial for their postseason hopes, despite being ranked 23rd in KenPom. A win here would not only stabilize their season but could also rattle a UCLA team already dealing with questions about their toughness. If things start to unravel, don’t be surprised if Cronin’s frustration boils over on the sidelines. Take Maryland ATS
