Typically, we start game week out here by going over the history of the Cincinnati Bearcats against the upcoming opponent.
That doesn’t work this week since the schools have never played before, despite being in bordering states.
The only history the two schools seem to have relates to former Bearcats coach Mick Cronin, who piloted the Murray State Racers before heading to Cincinnati.
In 2005, Cronin’s Murray State club took on the Bearcats, then coached by interim Andy Kennedy. Their November meeting was the first game since Bob Huggins was ousted over the summer as head coach.
