Most importantly he has the team believing they can win. They've beaten more ranked teams than anybody and people really still are kinda dismissive of them. I have the Bearcats beating OSU in my bracket and advancing to Elite 8.

Damn I love this team. Dion made a mistake not too different than the one he made a couple years ago against WVU (which has been alluded to in another thread)...but this time he made up for it immediately with stifling defense and a block that left FSU with little chance to actually win the game. True grit.

Cashmere Wright should have been on the interview panel! Like most players on this team, he provides some leadership when it's needed. He also made a clutch mid-range jumpshot to extend our lead.
Other than poor shooting early on Wright had a decent stat line (5 pts, 5 rebs, 6 assts, 5 stls, 2 to's). . The team is definitely not just a bunch of guys but a true team. |

"We weren't going to pack it in. We're going to get better from this [brawl]. We're going to have a better team. Come January, we're going to have a better team." - Mick Cronin talking with Andy Katz after the Wright State game (first game after the brawl).

Being in the Sweet 16 only matters if you win 4 more games.

Mick did not come to UC to go to the sweet 16 and lose, the elite 8 and lose, the Final 4 and lose. Mick came to UC to win the national championship. Nothing will please Mick except 4 more wins.

And you know what Ralph for once we can agree buddy, and the best part about it is, that is what makes Mick the right guy for the job, his eye is on the prize and he makes sure the focus is there from the whole team. He needs to start being in the discussions of national coach of the year.
