UC's Cronin, Scott, Brooks on Houston loss, plus Kelvin Sampson Scott Springer, sspringer@enquirer.com
The UC Bearcats offered a team and a performance that was barely recognizable Sunday in an 85-69 lost to the Houston Cougars, and now Mick Cronin swears he will invite football players to practice Monday afternoon. ”I may call coach (Luke) Fickell,’’ Cronin decided, in the wake of his basketball team’s devastating and demoralizing loss to visiting Houston.
You serious about that?
“Oh, yeah,’’ Cronin said. “Of course.’’
Why?
“To see who gets to get on the plane to Memphis’’ for UC’s Friday night AAC tournament opener.
