Final. Xavier pretty much controlled this game throughout.

X dominated. I know UC's identity is their pressure D. But it had little affect and hurt them more today. The press made little sense to me.

Cronin went after Xavier player JP Macamura for cussing at him during the game. I repeat a coach went after an opposing teams player in the hand shake line. Unacceptable.

Xavier looked like the much better team today.

Xavier is REALLY good.

So here is the play by play of the incident. Cronin refuses to shake players hand , player probably curses at him and Cronin proceeds to try and fight a player. Just unacceptable from a coach.

Cronin is a joke. This isn’t a big surprise.

I’ve never had much respect for Cronin. He recruited some really questionable character player at Murray State. He got what he wanted and that was a job at a big school.

Mick and Mack hate each other 100x worse than Rick and Cal ever did.

X dominated the paint. I think they win this regardless of where it's played.

 

Even though Macura's a turd, Cronin cannot do that. Totally unacceptable.

Exactly. He’s nothing special but a mid major coach at a big school.

You gotta be bigger and better than that if you're Cronin.

Loved the way Mack handled it after the game. Xavier is lucky to have him.

 

Great win for X and it never was a game. Wasn’t impressed with UC at all given their hype. They’ll have a chance to make up for it in the next couple weeks though.

While I love the excitement and competitiveness of the sports world, it's arrogant loud-mouthed jerks like Cronin (and he is only one of them) that helps to give the culture an embarrassing air of classless, shallow, tactless, meatheaded stupidity.
