"I'm just gonna focus on basketball," Cronin said. "We've had a great year and I'm gonna focus on coaching my team -- try to go out there and win two games in our third trip to the West Coast in the last four years in the NCAA Tournament."
Cronin elaborated a little, saying he feels bad for parents who've had to travel long distances to see their sons play in the tournament.
"Here's the downside, and this is not just for us," Cronin said. "Troy Caupain, three of four years, he and Kevin Johnson and Zack Tobler go to the NCAA Tournament. They're in Spokane twice and Sacramento once. It's really not easy for their families. Other than that, and that's a big thing, we don't believe in excuses. That won't be talked about at all on our end."
Yeah, they don't believe in excuses and they aren't going to talk about it...., but, Cronin is going to make a huge talking point about what a pain it is for a 6 seed to travel to the West Coast in his first address to the media after their selection. Got it.
I think emaw has the mental edge right now....#ncaaallin
