Cincy finished T-3 last year in the AAC. Not 3rd, not 4th, not 5th. Any person with rudimentary knowledge of sports knows that.
Never has Cincy been 4/5 in the AAC.
With arguably the strongest, most experienced roster of the Cronin era, there were 4 teams that we did not finish higher than in a weak mid-major conference. In the same mid-major conference, we couldn't win a single game in the conference tournament. We also couldn't win a single game in the NCAA, losing to another mid-major team. Last season feels more like a tie for 5th than a tie for 3rd.
