According to multiple reports within recent days, the Cincinnati Bearcats are expected to bring in South Carolina assistant coach Tim Buckley!
Buckley was Ball State's head coach and was an assistant at Indiana and Marquette for a decade, plus stints with Iowa, South Carolina and UNLV.
Cincinnati was in search of an assistant coach when Josh Loeffler departed after one year and Buckley will reportedly join the revamped staff!
There should be an official hiring in the coming days and Buckley will aim to make an impact as the Bearcats prepare for the 2025 campaign.
