Just a few days after being lambasted by head coach Mick Cronin over their lack of toughness, the University of Cincinnati Bearcat basketball team will suit up for another American Athletic Conference battle at home with South Florida Tuesday night.
In less than a week, UC has flown to Tulsa with surgical masks since a number of players and staff had the flu, won an improbable overtime game despite the ailments, returned home for a day's prep on UConn, then defeated the Huskies in OT despite being outrebounded by eight. Tuesday's tilt with USF ends the challenging stretch.
