On Thursday night the Cincinnati Bearcats face yet another critical road opponent on Thursday night, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Last season UC made their first trip to Tulsa while in the AAC, who were 21-7 at the time with 14 conference wins.
But no one trusted that record. They were a paper hurricane, if you will (that’s terrible).
At the time Tulsa’s best wins were Memphis (twice) and Temple. They lost to pretty much every team ranked ahead of them in RPI and walloped on cupcakes throughout most of their non-conference schedule. So a 56-47 win for a surging Bearcats team wasn’t especially surprising.
