Sooo, this is going to be a short one.
While I’d like to pretend Crosstown Shootouts during the Mick Cronin have been kinder to the Bearcats in recent years, they, unfortunately haven’t. One ended in a double overtime loss for UC, another was a missed buzzer beater by Farad Cobb, and two others were lost by 15 points or more.
So things haven’t exactly gone swimmingly in this rivalry since Mick became head coach. But that’s just what happens when your program is literally rebuilt from scratch while team down the street continued to maintain relative stability and a high level of basketball.
