For years, a game between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the UConn Huskies was a must-watch affair. The two programs were the primary pillars on which American Athletic Conference basketball was built and their meetings in the first few years of the league’s existence are legendary. The spectacle of a clash between the two rivals has been lessened in recent years, but on Saturday, we got to jump in the time machine and return to the good old days.
Now, when I said those old UC/UConn games were must-watch, I didn’t mean they were fun to watch.
