Its been a busy Saturday for the Cincinnati Bearcats athletic program. Things started off on a high note as Luke Fickell, the successor to Tommy Tuberville, was introduced as the next head coach and by all accounts (this writer’s included), he nailed the introductory press conference.
All that came before the 22nd-ranked Bearcats of the basketball persuasion met up with No. 16 Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Unfortunately, Fickell’s press conference was the highlight of the day as UC fell 75-65 to the Bulldogs.
The loss was a difficult one to take based on the performances of Troy Caupain and Gary Clark.
