Kermit the Frog once sang that there was only one more sleep ‘til Christmas. For the Cincinnati Bearcats, there is only one more game ‘til American Athletic Conference play, even if that doesn’t actually start until Dec. 31.
But before the Bearcats can prepare for the Memphis Tigers, they’ll have to take on the Cleveland State Vikings, who will travel to BB&T Arena tonight for an in-state matchup.
Who are the Cleveland State Vikings?
Best known, at least in recent basketball terms, for being the alma mater of Norris Cole, the Vikings are in the midst of a lull for a program that was exceptionally competitive in the Horizon League from 2007 to 2015, winning 20 games five times during that stretch.
