Oscar Robertson never quite understood all the bad blood, either. At last, the greatest University of Cincinnati basketball player is pleased to see Ohio State University finally agreeing to play UC in a home-and-home men's basketball series after nearly 100 years.
"They should play every year," said Robertson, a Naismith Hall of Fame player who turns 80 this month.
On Wednesday night at 6 p.m. at newly renovated Fifth Third Arena, the Bearcats and Buckeyes will open the season on ESPN2 with the first of a two-game home-and-home series.
