As I’ve matured over my years, I’ve come to develop two subcategories that fall under the “rivalry” umbrella. This past Sunday, I went to the Cincinnati-Wichita State game with my dad. It was an awesome experience. I had never been to Koch Arena before. Both sides seemed to realize that this was not a game existing in isolation and that both teams would be in the upper echelon of basketball for as long as the AAC continues to exist. So 5 more years. Regardless, despite the heartbreaking loss by the Shockers, the fans were mostly pleased walking out of the arena because they knew that the Shockers played their hearts out and simply lost to the team that played better.
