Cincinnati preparing for tough Florida St defense
Cincinnati forward Yancy Gates sees a lot of good basketball in the Big East. When he watches Florida State, he sees a team that would fit right in.
That's not a knock on the Atlantic Coast Conference, and he's not making a case for more realignment. It's just that in a conference full of talented offensive teams, the Seminoles' defensive style really stands out...

NCAA teams have extra time in tournament
Cincinnati power forward Yancy Gates didn't even notice that he had a lot more time to catch his breath during his first NCAA tournament appearance.
Halftime? Five minutes longer than normal. Timeouts? Longer, too.
''They're longer?'' Gates said. ''I didn't even know.''
Sure are. And for smaller schools that don't get to play on...

A Pair of Big East Upsets
This is what March Madness is all about. Upsets and stunning finishes. Cincinnati was in a battle with #14 Georgetown for the entire game and needed not one, but two overtimes to close out the 72-70 victory. Cincinnati was led by forward Yancy Gates who scored 23 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, while being a force down low against Georgetown’s big men. Louisville proved that...

Gates focusing on defense since return
Yancy Gates returned from his six-game suspension with renewed purpose. He rejoined a Bearcats team that is playing some of its best basketball to date, largely due to a guard-oriented approach necessitated by the suspensions of Gates, Cheikh Mbodj, and Octavius Ellis in the wake of the brawl with Xavier.
So now the pressure is off Gates to score. He's become more focused on...

Massive Brawl Ends Xavier-Cincinnati Game Early (Video)
This isn’t going to help the reputation of Cincinnati Bearcats players; the troubled Yancy Gates specifically. Today’s incident isn’t indicative of how players on the 8th ranked team in college basketball (Xavier Musketeers) should act, and I doubt Tu Holloway‘s NBA Draft stock will be helped by this.
Cincinnati vs. Xavier is always a bitter rivalry; but today...
