I am making my annual pilgrimage to Hinkle.

I'll probably be there, pending family issues.

If UC makes a move, I wonder if Travis Steele will get a look.

first call needs to be to Brad Stevens. Make him say no.

Most likely Jerrod Calhoun. The Utah State coach is a Cincinnati alum.

Otz has an assistant MU is interested in to replace Shaka?

Jealous. I can't make it this year.

Would you be pleased with UC's last five years compared to MU? Because that's the reason for this.

Ok, makes sense. I don't follow UC and the current team is not "paper bag bad" but 5 years of futility is a valid reason.

It's definitely the accumulation. I think Cincy probably views themselves similar to how we do. Remember the late 90s early 00s and the Cronin era and think they should be a perennial top-25 team and NCAA threat. Haven't been close to that under Wes Miller, and with alum Jerrod Calhoun one of the hottest carousel candidates, are hoping they make a move.

I always liked our rivalry with Cincinnati in the 90s and early 2000s.  Those were some fun games with packed houses.  I know it would never happen, but it would be fun to have them in the Big East if they ever got good again.
