Cincinnati exposed itself as a fraud earlier this afternoon. There’s no excuse for losing to a team that was 0-for-2009. None. But that’s what the Bearcats did, falling to DePaul in a result that dooms them and seriously hinders the Blue Demons’ next opponent (Providence).
Georgetown, meanwhile, should be some farmer’s prize possession at this point given the number of eggs the Hoyas have laid. Losing twice to St. John’s at the Garden in eight days? That isn’t even NIT caliber, though the Hoyas will probably land there.
