Cronin Chokes Again

[Kathy]

Can dominate in conference but can't get it done in the Big Dance. Some coaches just not good when the pressure is on. Up 22 with 11 minutes and blows it!

 

[tzznandrew]

Unbelieveable. How do you lose that!

 

[UCDaveD]

I love it.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I am not even surprised. This conference absolutely bottles it in the NCAA tournament.

 

[Huskygamble19]

He screwed up letting Cumberland play with the 4 fouls and it cost him big time.

Except for one team of course.....

 

[Captbluefin]

BOOM !!!!! Can’t stand Mick...

The path was WIDE open for them...

 

[B1GEast]

Given the upsets in that bracket, Cincy had a real chance to go deep.

Too bad, so sad

 

[BlueDogs]

Zero mettle. What an epic fold.

 

[Horatio]

Outstanding

 

[scotty0330]

He is anything but relaxed and confident down stretch. His team plays tight and dumb and musslemen just owned him. With Loyola next round they could not have asked for an easier road to elite eight.

This conference does itself no favors in March that is fo sho

What a let down for the conference. They had 22 pt lead and blew an easy pathway to the elite eight if not the final four.

Between Cincinnati and Houston I can’t believe how devastating each loss was in the final seconds. Ugh.

At least the Pac12 was out before the AAC

 

[ConnZag3]

How does Kentucky not make the Final Four now with that path? I mean they're playing Loyola or Nevada in the Elite 8! What gifts for Calimari

 

[John]

This entire conference is a bunch of Pitts

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This is a program crippling loss. Cincinnati will never be a top 10 team ever again.

So true about the next round.

 

[Hoophound]

I really hoped for a good showing by Cincy. The AAC has some momentum and these tourney flame outs are a killer. Is it the weakness of the conference not preparing teams or dumb luck?

 

[Ts5034]

I am not even surprised. This conference absolutely bottles it in the NCAA tournament.

Not a good showing for the AAC as usual, even with how well Houston played.

Because it pooped the bed.

 

[nomar]

I take no joy from this.

Rough St. Pattie's Day weekend for that little leprechaun.

Except that one time that guy did it with some other coaches players he didn’t even know.

Over-reaction much?
