Gary Clark is one of the best and most beloved players in University of Cincinnati basketball history. Neither of those is an exaggeration, as those who were chanting "Gar-y! Gar-y!" during Wednesday night's 75-42 Bearcats rout of Temple can attest.
Senior forward Clark had 17 points and had 10 rebounds for his fourth consecutive double-double, and he also became only the fifth UC player with both 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds for his career.
Clark also brought the loudest UC cheers heard this season at Northern Kentucky University's BB&T Arena, the one-year home of Bearcats men's basketball while Fifth Third Arena is being renovated.
