It’s Thursday and that means its time to get back to the action of the The All-Time Favorite Cincinnati Bearcat Basketball Player Tournament. As always, we’ll start with the Ed Jucker Region, which has been whittled down to two contenders: Oscar Robertson and Paul Hogue.
It’s not really a big surprise that Robertson has gotten this far. After all, he is the all-time leading scorer and rebounder for the Bearcats and easily the programs most famous alum. For once in this tournament, Hogue won’t have to deal with a player from completely outside his era, as the 1961 and 1962 national champion gets the Big O in the final of the Ed Jucker region.
