The beginning of July is a time reserved for patriotic celebration in the United States. Fireworks, barbecues and ‘Murica is the theme of this weekend, and it will spill into the week as July 4 falls on a Tuesday this year.
When thinking about all this celebratory fever, I thought it would be a fine time to show some Cincinnati Bearcats patriotism as we remember a special team that had a connection to the number four as well. During the 1991-92 season, the Bearcats went 29-5 in their third year under Bob Huggins. Led by Herb Jones, Anthony Buford and Nick Van Exel, UC made it all the way to the Final Four, slaying giants like Michigan State and Memphis in the NCAA Tournament.
