My original post was not so much to "rejoice" as to express my astonishment. The same night the Bobcats avoided a crushing defeat, at home, to a lesser tier MAC team by successfully waging a comeback from an 18 point second half deficit, tO$U blew an 11 point lead with less than eight minutes left in regulation, only to lose to a lesser tier team in the B1G, at home, in OT. I do resent the fact that tO$U refuses to play any other Ohio team, including OHIO, except perhaps every two decades. Currently, both Toledo and Cincinnati are playing far better, in my opinion than the previously 3rd ranked Buckeyes. Contrary to popular opinion on the A&M campus, it is not beneath their dignity to play an in-state opponent on a regular basis. I would include Xavier, Dayton and others among those who, like OHIO, could be very competitive with them in college hoops. I know it is frowned upon in these parts, but I am a fan of the Bearcats as well as the Bobcats. After graduating from OHIO, I went on to Cincinnati for post graduate studies. So, everything posted on this board may not fit within the cookie cutout framework some might prefer to see, but that's the way it is. Looking ahead, I sincerely hope that the 'Cats do not spot the Rockets 18 or 20 points at any time during Saturday's game, but if so, may they claw back once again to win! Go Bobcats!
As of a few minutes ago, the Bearcats beat Louisville, at home. So yes, I would say that they are definitely better this year, right now, than tO$U.
