Hey, coach, what about the Bruins being picked to finish eighth in the Pac-12 Conference for the first time in the 35-year history of the preseason media poll? “Yeah, I’m more concerned with the traffic on the 405,” Cronin said during a break in his obligations during Pac-12 media day at conference headquarters. Next came Arizona State in sixth place, followed by Oregon State, UCLA, Utah, Stanford, Washington State and California. “I would tell our fans to ignore that stuff and come help us,” Cronin said of the predictions. “We’re going to be exciting, we’re going to give unbelievable effort and we’ll be fun to watch.”
