On Friday March 4th the Cincinnati Bearcats’ women’s basketball team wrapped up their 2015-16 season with a 70-61 loss to the eight seed East Carolina Pirates in the AAC Tournament and finishing with a 8-22 record. In the last seven years UC has only advanced out of the first round of their conference tournament three times and gone to a postseason non-conference tournament once. They’ve also compiled a 78-135 record (36.6%) during that time.
The common theme over those seven years has been head coach Jamelle Elliott. A former UConn player and assistant coach, I was hopeful she would bring some of Geno Auriemma’s magic to the Bearcats.
