CINCINNATI -- When a team hasn't lost a game since early December, it's often difficult to maintain focus and stay sharp.
Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin has brought up this concern with his players on a few occasions during the past several weeks. And each time they have responded.
"That's the danger of not having lost since December 9th (vs. Florida)," Cronin said. "It makes it harder on the coach to hold attention and keep guys sharp. That, and playing some teams that maybe aren't ranked high. But that's why they pay me. I've got to make sure we get sharp.
