Bearcats head coach Mick Cronin is not on the sidelines for the Bearcats game against VCU due to an unruptured aneurism. Cronin tweeted this 20 minutes before game time:
Thank you to everyone for your concern, prayers, and support. I am ok. I am very fortunate to have such great friends and family.

I want everyone to know I am going to be ok!! I just can't coach for precautionary reasons with my medical condition.

Obviously not coaching was a tough pill to swallow, but as a teacher I ask my players to be smart and make the right decisions.

To listen to the people that know what's best for you. It is time for me to listen now, to my Doctors and follow their game plan.

Larry Davis is coaching the game against VCU. Yahoo’s the Dagger had this quote from AD Mike Bohn:
“The most important factor here is Mick’s health, which is bigger than any game,” Director of Athletics Mike Bohn said. “We will support him and his family to the fullest extent and want Mick to be our coach for a long time. We have faith in Larry Davis and our outstanding coaches and support staff to lead the program today. We are blessed to have an outstanding medical team here at UC and thank them for their efforts.”
