Why has Sebastian Mack thrived as UCLA's cold-blooded closer? He's 'got no fear'
Briefly

Sebastian Mack, UCLA's sophomore guard, is proving to be a clutch player in critical moments of games. His recent performances, including a crucial three-pointer against USC, showcase his ability to step up when the team needs it most. Coach Mick Cronin praises Mack's fearlessness and belief in his scoring abilities. Despite facing challenges, such as contested shots, Mack's continued success has made him an essential part of the team's offensive efforts. His contributions highlight not only his talent but also the supportive role of his teammates in late-game scenarios.
"Sebastian's got no fear," UCLA coach Mick Cronin said Wednesday, "and when you've got a guy like that, he believes he can score at any time."
Mack rose for the three-pointer that quieted the roaring crowd inside the Galen Center. "My mindset was, just try to find something," Mack said.
Because they were contested, he had to lift his elbow and finish high, therefore he shot the ball with arc, the way he should have and the way we try to work with him on, and that's why he made them.
Mack pointed out that others have also stepped up late in games. Bilodeau buried Arizona with a flurry of baskets, Skyy Clark made critical free throws in several games.
