Reasons to be Optimistic About Cincinnati Bearcats Basketball

Related Topics: Iowa Hawkeyes, Ohio, Gary Clark

Losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament is not what the Cincinnati Bearcats wanted this year. It’s not what they want any year for that matter, but that was the fate they suffered this season. It was a familiar story for the program, which has not made it to the second weekend of the tournament since 2012. Since they’ve been to nine-straight NCAA Tournaments, that’s a whole lot of disappointment. This year’s setback against the 10th-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes may not have been as especially disastrous as 2018’s loss to Nevada in the second round, but it will certainly leave a mark as the offseason begins.
