As much as I hate to admit it, I feel a little badly for Cronin. He must know that this was his year. The stars had aligned for Cinci to make a deep run.

He still is annoying little leprechaun though.

Has he gotten to the part where it’s all the refs fault?

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

As some of us mentioned...they never had the PG to make that deep run. The last play was so fitting and predictable (Cane). Although I thought it may have happened in the next round.

The guy appears to be a very good coach...until the last five minutes of a post-season game.

Focusing on the NC What a fool. That might be a little part of the problem. A reason why Auriemma is so successful is he gets his team not to look ahead.

 

[Confident Carl]

He is so punchable.

Mikey Cronin, this is the proper way to react to blowing a 22 point lead. Tony Bennett after losing to 16 seed UMBC, this is the way to address the media. It's called March MADNESS remember!!! Cmon, get with the program.

Everything that comes out of his mouth is an excuse it seems.

Why are we bagging on him? I get it's easy, but he runs a terrific program and is currently one of the top teams in the AAC. I get he's an easy target, but we ought to be rooting for every AAC team to be great and do great. Until we get into a better conference. Then F*k them...

Probably the first thing he did after the press conference was to brutally berate that assistant of his with the hangdog look. Watch him when he calls a timeout after a bad play by one of his players. He almost always attacks that assistant.

A big part of the reason people are giving him a hard time is that he had a golden opportunity to carry the torch for the conference this year and blew it. This was Cincy’s best chance to reach the Final Four since before Kenyon Martin broke his leg.

As I said before the game, what was going to make this one hurt even more is our path the Elite8 was Georgia State, Nevada and Loyola Chicago. It's never going to be that easy again. I still think the 2002 team was better than this one (#1 seed that lost to a loaded but underachieving UCLA team in the R32) but the path is NEVER gonna be that easy again.

The worst part is that it gave Calipari the easiest path to the final 4 in the history of the tournament.
