During the Cincinnati Bearcats’ unfortunately short run in the NCAA Tournament, there seemed to be a changing of the guard. While Gary Clark, Kyle Washington and Jacob Evans all played their hearts out, it was another player who seemed to take control and be the steady hand the team needed. That was sophomore Jarron Cumberland. The man affectionately known as Teddy Graham averaged 22 points per game in the NCAA Tournament and even if things didn’t work out the way they wanted, the Bearcats would have been much worse off without him.
It wasn’t just that he scored so many points, or brought the ball up the court and initiated the offense.
