Pretty good one last night, eh?

As usual, Cincinnati and UConn took it down to the wire and as all Bearcats fans expected considering the outcomes of the Butler, Iowa State, SMU, and the most recent Temple game, UC was going to find a way to lose the lead late. But they didn’t. Nope, Gary Clark saved them and in a game that Cincinnati could very easily have lost, like they had the last three seasons in the XL Center. But they pulled through thanks to #11.

In case you missed the thriller, here’s some highlights along with the post game presser with Mick Cronin, who also spoke a little bit about Shaq Thomas’ injury.
