CINCINNATI -- It's fitting that the University of Cincinnati is honoring its 1992 Final Four team this weekend. After all, this season's team appears to have what it takes to make a deep NCAA Tournament run.
For the first time in head coach Mike Cronin's tenure, No. 14 Cincinnati (20-2, 9-0 American) has balance on offense and a deep bench to go along with its typically tenacious defense. But, on Saturday afternoon, the Bearcats will face a team that has been a thorn in their side for the past decade or so -- the University of Connecticut.
The Bearcats have won 13 straight games and 21 straight at Fifth Third Arena.
