I didn’t leave that part out... I literally said mick had Mike write an article for him saying he’s going to leave with out an extension. Bohn called his bluff. And we just missed the tourney as a result.
And we likely miss it again next season with how long it will take to get the faces to gel.
Mick made his point. Winning is hard and under appreciated.
The tourney streak is no longer UC’s, it’s mick Cronin’s tourney streak. He’s kept it going. Chances are he will make the tourney until he retires from here on out.
I hope brannen is as successful as Mick was at very very minimum. But I want the whole package. Regular season, conf tourney and ncaa tourney results. I won’t be impressed by Cinderella conference tourney runs bc we aren’t in a 1 bid league.
My full evaluation with John starts next season. It’s year 3. You gutted the program, players and culture. And installed your own. It’s put up or shut up in year 3. I expect winning record in the non conference and Xavier win (0-3 vs X in their down years sounds gross), votes in the top
25 poll at some point in the season, a top 3 finish in the conference standings and an 8 seed or better in the tourney.
I don’t think those are unrealistic.
