Bearcats Basketball

I sat right next to the U.C. band tonight in the end zone while watching the Bearcats take care of St. John's. I can't tell you how much better this team is playing since their first Big East win against Rutgers almost 1 month ago to the day. They beat the Scarlet Knights on Jan. 14th by playing 25 minutes of solid basketball. Against St. John's, it was more like 35 minutes of solid basketball. Like it or not Mick detractors, that is solid coaching. This team is improving. So is Yancy Gates. The freshman is getting more aggressive on the offensive end. Mick still has things to hammer Yancy about. Like rebounding. I stil say the guy is going to be a beast. He'll get the supreme measuring stick on Saturday when he gets to post up against Pitts' DeJuan Blair, the best power player in the country.
