While losing the Crosstown Shootout in embarrassing fashion can make the season seem over, its not. Far from it. The Cincinnati Bearcats are still a very good team and they will play (and win) plenty more games this season. The next one is against the currently No. 5 Florida Gators. So the level of difficulty isn’t going down for a bit. (Mississippi State and UCLA await from there).
But just like UC showed it was not perfect against a rival, the Gators bared their weaknesses in plain sight against a hated adversary this past week.
