The Bearcats are on a roll. Following last nights 87-61 rout of South Florida, Cincinnati has now won 3 in a row and 6 of their last 7. UC dominated the Bulls defensively, and Yancy Gates had a stellar game. Still there has been little mention of UC's recent streak. On the major sports websites, I've seen a few feature articles on some of the top teams in the country, the up-and-coming teams, or the teams to watch out for. None have mentioned the Bearcats. But that's ok. That's the way Mick Cronin likes. Keep disrespecting us and we will keep winning to prove you wrong. Fine with me.
Tonight UC faces an equally hot Notre Dame team that is currently one of the darlings of college basketball. The writers seem to love Ben Hansbrough, coach Mike Breen, and the golden dome in general. UC lost at Notre Dame in January, and the Cincinnati Enquirer's Bill Koch gives a nice recap of that game on his blog. A win tonight would give UC a nice boost in prestige, respect, and possibly NCAA tournament seeding come Sunday. More on that later.
