Down 23 points and reeling all week, UCLA finds an OT escape against No. 10 Illinois‎

UCLA was having a very bad week, staggering to blowout losses on the road, where coach Mick Cronin angrily — and he later admitted wrongly — ejected one of his own players at Michigan State. “I was worried before the game,” Cronin said. The Bruins roared back, with Donovan Dent hitting the winning layup with 1 second left in overtime for a 95-94 victory.
