It’s finals week on college campuses across the nation which makes Saturday’s game between the No. 22 ranked Cincinnati Bearcats and No. 16 ranked Butler Bulldogs especially difficult for both teams. Cincinnati coach, Mick Cronin, said “Finals weeks is tough because the guys have so many things going on mentally. When you come to practice, it’s hard to get their mind back, because their minds are fried a little bit”.
That perhaps makes the timing even more dangerous for Butler since it had to play a road game against Indiana State on Wednesday night, while the Bearcats have had the week off.
