what are the other 2?

Florida State and Syracuse

Where has anyone said this would be the 3rd biggest win of Cronin's era? I haven't seen that discussed on a single board?

I don't make things up without receipts. First of all, you think I could pull Florida State and Syracuse out of my butt? I have zero knowledge of either of those games.
Anyways:

Fair enough. I must have missed those posts. It's an interesting point I guess.

I'd say it's predominantly a huge game because it is a chance to win the first outright conference title under Cronin. Obviously WSU being great this year even increases the stakes.

But for me personally, and many UC fans on Twitter/message boards, it seems conference tournament and NCAA tournament games are more important.

This is probably the biggest regular season game as far as stakes and opponent. They have had a ton of other big ones but UC typically comes up short in those situation. The home game against Louisville during Kilpatrick's senior year immediately comes to mind.

Regardless, this is a massive game and I'm certainly glad it's a national CBS game.
