In case you were unaware, Cincinnati's YouTube channel uploads a lot of content usually featuring weekly highlights and press conferences. This week they put up a lot of interviews with coach Cronin and the players and here are some quotes that I found interesting. Too get to the Bearcats YouTube channel click here.
"I felt like I was in Black Hawk down" - Kyle Washington
This took place when Jacob Evans and Kyle Washington were interviewing each other. Evans asked Washington, "What time did you realize Coach Cronin was crazy." Washington said during the UCF game Cronin was sayin how he needs soldiers, not hero's. Classic Coach Cronin, but Washington said he felt like he was in Black Hawk Down.
"Watching Gary smile with that chipped tooth." - Jacob Evans
Evans was asked what the funniest moment with the team was this season. A week ago Gary Clark got part of his tooth knocked out against UConn and the guys on the team were having a bit of fun with it. Evans also went on too say when Troy Caupain gets angry in practice is also a funny moment.
"I would hope the coaches in the Big 12 would not of answered If I had called them. There should be some league loyalty." - Mick Cronin
Cronin was asked how well he has prepared for Kansas State and if he had reached out to any other coaches who have played against them. Mick went on too give credit to his guys that scout the teams and how he has two assistants that have been scouting the Wildcats. Cronin also said that he has seen K State's last two months of the season on the plane ride to Sacramento. By the way, I'm coach Huggs would of answered.
"People really have to stop coming up and asking me all these." - Kyle Washington
Washington was getting interviewed by Dan Hoard and by now every knows that Kyle has been said to know every division one mascot. Washington said this after he missed East Tennessee State. Washington was cracking up laughing in this. In the end, KW went 66/68 after missing ETSU and North Dakota.
"You could be an average coach and get extremely lucky in this tournament." - Mick Cronin
Mick was asked if this season would be considered a failure if the Bearcats were to get bounced early. Mick said that no matter what it's a success because they had 29 wins and they making good men out of kids and helping them get a degree. I didn't think it was an ideal answer, but he has a point. He brought up how Pitt let Jamie Dixon go because of his record in the tournament and how hard it really is and how some of it is part luck.
"What Bill Belicheck say? NO DAYS OFF." - Mick Cronin
Cronin was asked what they key was too winning in March.
Also, a big shoutout goes to UC radio man Dan Hoard who is doing most of these interviews from the team locker room. Him and Terry Nelson will have the call of the game against Kansas State on 700 WLW.
