The Bearcats Blog Top 30 Countdown: #24 Dion Dixon
We roll through the Bearcats Blog Countdown with the most recent member of the list, my best friend Dion Dixon. Was he really one of the best Bearcats of the modern era? No one played more games than him. Also, there is a large bit of bias to Dixon for being my best friend and for being on 2 of the most enjoyable Bearcats teams in a long time. It happens. A large part of this was...
Cronin reviving Cincinnati basketball program
Is the University of Cincinnati men's basketball program back? Sure feels that way.
Mick Cronin inherited a program that was in shambles in 2006 following the ousters of Bob Huggins and Andy Kennedy. Players transferred, recruits did an about-face and attendance plummeted. What a difference six years makes. Cronin has led the Bearcats to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances...
Thursday Tourney action tough to stomach
Thursday's sloppy mess
I was fairly excited. Home relatively early on a Thursday evening. A full slate of meaningful tourney games. Spread out nicely. Forget what I said about college basketball. It’s on, right? Unfortunately, it was on. And it was awful to watch.
One of the interesting side effects of having a young child at home is that I find myself increasingly watching...

The 62-56 victory over the third-seeded Seminoles was not a thing of beauty. It wasn't the stuff of "One Shining Moment" lore. It was a brutally defensive game marred by turnovers and physical...

Florida State's run ends in 62-56 loss to Cincy
The Florida State Seminoles can remember this season for winning their first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title.

That will have to be enough, along with reaching the NCAA tournament for a record fourth straight year, after struggling to hold onto the ball in...

Know your team - Cincinnati Bearcats
Three months ago, the thought of Ohio State playing a Sweet 16 NCAA Tournament game against a team from Cincinnati was not only a tantalizing one, but a realistic one.
That team just would not have been the Cincinnati Bearcats.
Left for the scrap heap following a rocky start and an embarrassing brawl vs. crosstown rival Xavier on Dec. 10, the Bearcats might be college basketball...
