As a UC basketball fan, my resentment for OSU is sky-high. Growing up in Cincinnati, it seemed to be Cincy bball fans and OSU football fans. As a kid, that was how I rolled. It's just what the norm was. As I grew older, I realized it was kind of weird to root for two different colleges in two different sports so I just gravitated towards Cincinnati collegiate everything- after all, my home city. All well and good. Since the Huggins' era ended, I've noticed a dramatic change in culture- it seems there are more Ohio State basketball fans than Cincinnati basketball fans and even now it is that recruits would rather go play for OSU than UC. I now loathe OSU. It's a great chance for redemption. Ohio's best basketball team should always be UC. Go Bearcats. Can't wait for the game!
