The Cincinnati Bearcats lost twice on Tuesday. First, they fell to UConn in the first round of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. Then, in a more surprising setback, head coach Ty Neal announced that he will resign due to personal reasons.
In an announcement posted to UC’s official athletic website athletic director Mike Bohn said, ““We respect Coach Neal’s decision to step down. We appreciate what Ty has done to escalate the academic and athletic profiles of the program with an APR score which improved from 948 to 989 and an RPI which improved 147 spots over the past four years.
