Tonight the Cincinnati Bearcats travel to the hornet’s nest that is the XL Center in an attempt to beat the UConn Huskies, something they haven’t accomplished since the 2011-12 season.
Do you remember that game? It was a pretty good one. A team that included the veterans such as Yancy Gates, Dion Dixon, Cashmere Wright, and JaQuon Parker, Mick Cronin put the weight of the game on sophomore Sean Kilpatrick’s shoulders.
It was your typical last few minutes against a UConn team, with star point guard Shabazz Napier draining a three to tie the game at 67 and attempt to ruin Cincinnati’s upset bid of the #13 Huskies on their home floor.
