Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via The fiercest rivals in college basketball have their date now set for their annual tussle.

I Guess It Doesn’t Matter Anymore
Conferences don’t seem to matter anymore. My mind is blown by a UCLA and USC-less Pac-10/12. This is true even as we in UC-land celebrate the Bearcats’ journey to the Big 12. As long as UC keeps winning, they will remain relevant. If they don’t win, they won’t be relevant. Buddy Holly spelled it out correctly some 60 years ago. There you go and baby here am I Well you left me here so I could sit and cry Well, golly gee what have you done to me Well I guess it doesn’t matter anymore Do you remember baby, last September How you held me tight, each and every night Well...

From the Video Vault: Kay to Kelce for the Win!
Photo by Streeter Lecka/ Cincinnati football is going to have a great season. Despite a tough schedule, we are going to finish strong too. Just like the Bearcats did in the December 2012 Belk Bowl. A more-than-game Duke Blue Devils team played us tough. In the end, a dart from Brandon Kay to Travis Kelce that turned into an 83-yard touchdown pass sealed the 48-34 win for the Bearcats. I’m thinking 12-0 regular season. What do you all think? Tell me about it in the comments. Cincinnati football is going to have a great season. Despite a tough schedule,...

From the Video Vault: Dontonio Wingfield
Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via A one-and-done Bearcats great He may have been a one-and-done, but Dontonio Wingfield generated some serious excitement during his lone year on the UC campus. Here are some highlights from his debut for the Bearcats during the 1993-1994 season—specifically, a Preseason NIT game against Butler. The Bearcats defeated the Bulldogs handily in this November 17th, 1993 contest. Wingfield led the way with one of the most impressive debuts in NCAA history: 30 points and 12 rebounds. Wingfield’s 30 points broke Oscar Robertson’s UC record...
