Bad Practice, Bad Game

Going into the game Sunday the Bearcats were over an 8 point underdog, so few expected a win.

What about a 24 point loss?  As the team approaches the end of it's season every game has the potential to make or break " the resume".  How will the game at Syracuse effect their ability to make the field of 64?  With an expected loss does it matter that the end result was worse than expected?  Only time will tell.  Beating South Florida is the next task at hand and a loss there could be worse than the one in Syracuse.   Coach Cronin said after the game that they delayed the charter flight out of Cincinnati Saturday because the teams practice was so bad.  Without a game the next day Cronin said he would have thrown them out and started fresh the next day.  The team is heading straight to Tampa for their game Tuesday so Bearcat Sports Page will have no interviews before the South Florida game.
