He was also one of only six coaches to have led their school to the NCAA Tournament in the each of the past nine seasons. Cronin had coached against the Bruins three times. After Cincinnati lost to UCLA in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, they defeated the Bruins in two consecutive regular-season matches by an average of 21.5 points. Its 29-point win in 2018–19 was part of a UCLA four-game losing streak which led up to Alford's midseason dismissal. In his first year in 2018–19, the Bruins starting slowly at 8–9 before going 11–3 and finishing second in the Pac-12 at 12–6. Cronin was named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year. The Bruins earned a No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the conference tournament was cancelled before the Bruins' first scheduled game in the quarterfinals, and the NCAA Tournament was called off as well.
Although Cronin's teams struggled early in his UC career, he improved the school's win total each of his first five seasons.
