When the Nebraska Cornhuskers take on UCLA in the penultimate game of the season, will Mick Cronin be leading the Bruins? That's an open question for a disappointing coach in a disappointing season, who managed to make a fool of himself and his team on Tuesday night.
First, the UCLA head coach ejected his own player after a hard foul in his team's blowout loss to Michigan State. And then, as Cronin wants to do, didn't handle the defeat very well. During a post-game scrum, he accosted a reporter by acting outraged by a question and then going after the man when the reporter was just trying to explain himself. On Wednesday, more than a few people took to the airwaves and print to say that Cronin's time in LA should be over.

However, after the Big Ten rival school looked into the situation, it admitted that it was the student who was in the wrong. Hoiberg didn't do anything other than get someone who wasn't supposed to be on the court anyway to get out of his way.
Nebraska baseball adds a new 2027 commit

Nebraska pitching coach Rob Childress liked what he saw when the hurler attended a camp in Lincoln last month and touched 91 mph with his fastball.
