The problem is the (lack of) defense.

This has got to be the worst Mick Cronin-coached defense outside of the failed European experiment year.

Where are the hard-nose players that Mick Cronin typically got when he was at Cincinnati?

anyone seeing the similarity with Ben Howland??

Ben Howland : Pittsburgh = Mick Cronin : Cincinnati

This team is going nowhere if they keep giving up 80 points per game.
