The All-Time Favorite Cincinnati Bearcat Basketball Player Tournament: Ed Jucker Region Round One

Yesterday we unveiled the final bracket for the The All-Time Favorite Cincinnati Bearcat Basketball Player Tournament and now its time to get started on actually discussing and voting. Up first is the Ed Jucker Region. For a reminder, this portion of the bracket is copied below.

Now let’s break down these matchups.

No. 1 Oscar Robertson vs. No. 16 Andre Tate

I’m not expecting a whole lot of support for Tate in this one. Its no condemnation of Tate, who played for the Bearcats in the early 90s and is the all-time leader in minutes played.
