Article Excerpt:

By JOHN P. WISE
One Great Season

Poor Cincinnati. After the Bearcats cruised in their Big East Tournament opener on Wednesday, they were trounced by Notre Dame in one of the most lopsided blowouts in the event's storied history.

Fellow alums think I'm harsh on our alma mater; it's not that I'm not excited about the job Mick Cronin has done in his fifth season in Cincinnati. But at the same time, I'm tempering my optimism because I don't think the Bearcats are back, as many of them like to think. They play excellent defense and their scrappy style is reminiscent of those great UC teams of the 1990s. But those teams also had some scoring punch. Currently there is very little offensive firepower, no go-to guy to carry a team, and that's why Cincinnati's exit from the NCAA Tournament will be an early one.
