When the final buzzer sounded on Saturday, the Cincinnati Bearcats had themselves an 80-60 victory over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. A 20-point blowout near the end of February against a middle of the road conference foe may seem largely inconsequential, but that was not the case for this one. With the victory, Mick Cronin joined the 300-win club. Through a head coaching career that has spanned 14 seasons, Cronin has a 65.8 percent winning percentage and is behind only Bob Huggins among UC coaches in total victories.
Across his time with time with UC (and Murray State before that), Cronin has proven to be a winner.
