Takeaways from Cincinnati Bearcats' loss to Wichita State: 'Back to the drawing board'

UC's Cronin explains how Bearcats lost to Wichita State/ Tom Groeschen

The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team suddenly has lost two consecutive games, leaving some Bearcats fans worried that UC is headed for yet another first-weekend NCAA Tournament exit.

That kind of panic, or at least some level of anxiety, is inevitable given the high bar set by UC. The Bearcats (23-4, 12-2 American Athletic Conference) are still an elite team, but more warts were exposed when UC lost 76-72 to a strong Wichita State team on Sunday.

No shame in that.
