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.”

Why even keep score?

Well that's nice but I disagree. If winning doesn't mean anything then why are you an NCAA basketball coach?

Couple that with knowing the Reds are going to blow this year and XU winning...
Just win baby.

Put a large sum on KSU and the points.

Thank You......

Or you could just bet the money line that way if UC wins by 3 you win twice.

That sounds like excuse making before an expected L.

Good Lord. What the hell is wrong with Cronin? Well Mick the fans judge the season on the post season. Though I'm sure he doesn't care about that either.

Youth counselors make about $40,000 per year. Mick Cronin makes $2,200,000. I think he's paid to do a bit more than develop his players' character.

Love him, hate him, or (like me) something reasonable in between, I can't be the only person that's sick of hearing statements like this. Stop making preemptive excuses and gain that killer instinct.

As expected...refs are calling fouls on SMU. Unlike in conference

2.2 million for this crap? This is why I tire of Mick. Freaking pathetic. I wish he would just keep his mouth shut.

Just stop with all this bad karma!!!

Weirdo, stop replying to my posts. The True fans? How does one measure that? Do you get to judge who is the " True " fan? Again, typical idiotic response. Why don't you take another break from the board. You need it.

Rtaylor and Payday

Why don't you too kiss and make up. Cant you find a middle ground? We are all UC fans....

just a thought. I like you both....let's broker a peace deal.

Yes. I'm judging you. Just like you judge Cronin. You do this every game every season. We haven't even played yet and your trashing him.

Sorry BC1. I'm tired of the early exits and the bad karma exhibited by the so called fans on this site. I don't need his bs right now.
