UC won their American Athletic Conference game with South Florida Tuesday night but head coach Mick Cronin missed the last 18 minutes of the contest. UC was victorious 82-74 to go to 15-3 for the season (4-1 AAC).
For the first time in 426 games as UC's basketball coach, Cronin was ejected. With UC leading 46-35 two minutes into the second stanza, Nysier Brooks pulled down a rebound and was called for a foul. However, Cronin thought it was a shot-clock violation and had a differing opinion on the call.
