Mason Madson, Tari Eason, Mamoudou Diarra, Zach Harvey, Mike Saunders Jr. and Gabe Madsen all put their name in the transfer portal days after Cincinnati’s season ended with a 91-54 loss to Houston in the American Athletic Conference championship game. Cincinnati finished 12-11 in John Brannen’s second season.
According to a report by Justin Williams, of The Athletic, the players’ departures were related to problems with Brannen, who was hired in 2019 when Mick Cronin left to take the head coaching job at UCLA. Cincinnati made the NCAA tournament in Cronin’s final nine seasons and was 20-10 in Brannen’s first season.
