CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bearcats senior forward Gary Clark might be a "Problem" for opponents, but he's hardly been that for head coach Mick Cronin. Clark became the 51st player in program history to reach 1,000 career points in Friday's season-opening win over Savannah State.
"Anything Gary does, I'm happy for," Cronin said. "Guys like Gary Clark, you can't not root for them. I can only hope the good Lord thinks I'm half as nice as Gary Clark. And, that's a stretch to get to half, because Gary Clark is a really good person."
Jon Rothstein, a college basketball insider for CBS Sports, coined the phrase "Gary Clark is a problem" two seasons ago and it has become a popular slogan among UC students.
