Mick Cronin didn’t mince words or waste much time in his postgame press conference following Cincinnati’s quadruple overtime loss to the UConn Huskies in their opening round of the AAC Tournament 104-97. Sure he was quick to congratulate Kevin Ollie and his team who came away with perhaps the hardest fought victory either team would have had this season.
However, Mick’s criticisms of the refs knew no bounds. Literally his second sentence out of his mouth was “the game was taken away from us” by the zebras, if I’m finishing it for him. He went on to elaborate that the shot Jalen Adams took to tie the game at 88 in the third overtime couldn’t have possibly been done in less than 0.
