Quote:Cronin pointed to UC’s full season body of work and the development of college student-athletes as more important than the win or go home results of the NCAA Tournament.

“I don’t buy any of it,” added Cronin. “We could win the tournament or we could lose Friday – I’m not going to base our success of our season off either one. We’ve learned how to play for each other, we’ve learned how to be unselfish and sacrifice. Those are the lessons they’re here for. What everybody else wants to judge us off of, that’s your right, but I don’t’ buy it. Even if I was going to the Final Four every year, I wouldn’t buy into it. If I was doing it without graduating players, or being a good person, or without developing my players as people and teaching them what the real world is about, I’d be a failure in my mind. But, I’d probably be glorified in the media. I don’t aspire to what other people define as success.”
