I had forgotton that he was kicked off the team the year before...

Huggs had a few thugs for sure. Remember Art "Mongo" Long?

Indeed. Punched out a police horse!

Patterson went on to beat his wife/girlfriend in the NBA

Van Excel had some issues if I remember

BJ grove was cited for having hand-guns in his car one year


Huggins did find some rough inner-city guys to come in and bang around. They fit his style, it's also why they typically struggled to score. Guys like Logan and Martin made themselves. Fortson and Dermarr were the exception for offensive minded guys rather than the rule for Huggins.

Van Exel had his share of problems, but he overcame them to have a nice NBA career and is now coaching......

Darnell Burton was my favorite Bearcat of the mid-90s (before Kenyon).

I think he's now in jail for drug dealing.

Dontonio Wingfield was a real gem.

Dontonio Wingfield was a real gem.

That imo was the darkest season of Huggins' tenure........"The Don" was a tool.....

Let the drinking begin.

Cincinnati has an excellent BB team. You guys are the dark horse to win the tourney. Good luck.

I sure hope the ACC gets Cinci and UConn in the not to distant future.

Damn...two minutes, two fouls for JJ.....

 

[bengaldoug]

Let the drinking begin.

Where have you been? I started two hours ago.....

 

[kramer1]

This game was over when Jackson got 2 fouls in 2 minutes.

 

[bengaldoug]

Notably, soon as they got JJ on the bench the officials have swallowed their whistles.

 

[kramer1]

DRIVE THE GOD DAMNED LANE, PLEASE.

 

[kramer1]

How terrible is this?

 

[bengaldoug]

They haven't thrown it in the ocean, yet.....

 

[bengaldoug]

Ever notice Sanders nearly always hits the three when he steps in to it, and almost never hits when fading away.

 

[kramer1]

Thomas mugged. No call.

 

[kramer1]

Fuck Louisville

 

[bengaldoug]

We're totally outplayed, couldn't have played worse, and down three at the half. I'll take it.

 

[kramer1]

Jackson is gonna come out like a man possessed in the 2nd half.
