The 300th victory for Mick Cronin came rather easily, which has been fairly standard procedure in a superb 2016-17 University of Cincinnati basketball season.
The University of Cincinnati coach gained his 300th victory as a college basketball head man Saturday afternoon, when the No. 18 Bearcats routed Tulsa 80-60. A sellout crowd of 13,386 watched at Fifth Third Arena.
Cronin is now 300-156 as a college head coach. That includes three years at Murray State (69-24) and 11 years at UC (231-132). Cronin has coached eight NCAA Tournament teams, including two at Murray State and the last six years at UC.
