UC 52, USF 51 -postgame

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the Blogger function went down late in the game and this is the first chance I've had to get back to it after making first-edition deadline.

It certainly wasn't a great win for UC by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, the Bearcats almost suffered the indignity of being the first Big East team to lose to USF at home. But they weren't.

“In the courses of a season you have to win sometimes when you’re terrible on offense,” Cronin said. “We dug down and gutted out a win. Sometimes you’ve got to do that."

His offensive limitations aside, Hrycaniuk did a great job on Gransberry, who was held to seven points.


“Jamual (Warren) gets a lot of credit for being a great role payer for us,” Cronin said. “I wish Adam would get the same amount of credit for what he does. That’s by far the best anybody has done against (Gransberry) all year.”
