Xavier 89 Cincinnati 76

[futurecoach]

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.

[LIPTON BASH]

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.

[MJAlltheWay24]

Xavier looked like the much better team today.

[GrantNKY]

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.

[Randy Parker]

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.

[MJAlltheWay24]

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

[Billy Costigan]

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.
