UCLA shows plenty in reserves
Los Angeles Times
|November 20, 2025
Four bench players join Dailey to start and set tone as Bruins overwhelm Hornets.
It looked like a message sent with a bullhorn, a move made with all the subtlety of an elbow to the ribs.
UCLA coach Mick Cronin sent starter Eric Dailey Jr. onto the court for tipoff Tuesday night alongside four players who are normally reserves.
The regular starters weren't sick or injured, they just hadn't given the effort their coach wanted in practice. So in their place, Cronin started a group of players who had drubbed their teammates by 20 points the previous day in a game that didn't count except in the mind of the coach.
Given a bigger role, that new group set an unmistakably energetic tone against Sacramento State at Pauley Pavilion, scoring the game's first 13 points on the way to the No. 19 Bruins' 79-48 victory.
"They pay me to win games and I thought that was the lineup that was ready to play tonight," Cronin said, disputing the idea that he was putting his regular starters on notice. "I don't believe in messages, I don't believe in doghouses."
He does believe in extracting whatever his players have to give.
