UCLA coach Mick Cronin, who is in his seventh season, said the message to his team against Arizona was “to do hard things and play at a high level. … If you want to be successful in life, you’ve got to be ready to do hard things. … (If) you want to beat Arizona, you better be better than them. That’s No. 1. No. 2, you’d better be able to do some hard things because they bring the fight. That’s why it’s great to play them. They always bring the fight.”
