Hot take: The young guys in San Antonio crumble under the pressure and New York wins it on their own floor in game six

Mentioned more to come on the @IUHoosiers front and that more is here!

@eli_kadakia10 is taking over and will have coverage of IU basketball and football!

Eli grew up on the Westside of Cincinnati, where his love of all things Cincy began. A lifelong Reds and Bengals fan, he is starting his senior season at Indiana University and serves as the lead on all things Hoosiers during football and basketball season. Eli is super excited to join the team this year, and we are excited to have him!

Introducing the first of 2 @GoBEARCATS writers: @michaelkboston!

Lifelong Cincinnati sports fan.

Bearcats, Bengals, Reds, and FCC

While not a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, I spent a great deal of my childhood and upper teen years on and around campus.

Sneaking into the Shoemaker Center to watch the late 90’s Bob Huggins teams with my brother’s duplicate student ID will always be some of my favorite memories.

Making the 40 minute drive down on weekday nights from Trenton, OH with my HS friends just so we could kick FGs under the lights at Nippert Stadium or play soccer under the Sheakley lights are also core memories of mine and helped build and solidify my love for the school.

If you follow me on Twitter, you’re aware that I often live and die with the results of my Bearcats. Needless to say I’m pretty excited to get another shot at writing more about them on this site.

Today I live in NE Ohio. Father of two boys that share my love for the city and school. We make it back to Cincinnati as often as possible. Though my oldest son would tell you we don’t come as often as he would like.

Big Skyline Chili family. Graeters is the best ice cream on the planet. Firm believer Cincinnati is one of the greatest cities on earth.

Excited to be here!

@mid_madness @Sam_Federman Who is the early favorite in the MVC?

I turn on the TV and it’s magically the middle of January again

[Charlie Leatherwood @SSM_CL]

@AllUKBall_HPS @Collegehoopsguy @BracketNky @KentuckyMBB @DrewByousBBN Fair point, just looking for that elite consistency

[Charlie Leatherwood @SSM_CL]

@Collegehoopsguy @BracketNky @KentuckyMBB @DrewByousBBN @AllUKBall_HPS For sure, a ton depends on if Pope can coach at that high of a level

[Charlie Leatherwood @SSM_CL]

@Collegehoopsguy @BracketNky @WSURaiders @GoCards @OhioStateHoops 😂😂 Same to you man!

[Sansom Sports Media🏀🏈 @BracketNky]

Happy to confirm that @SSM_CL is taking over the OSU football coverage in addition to his Xavier coverage.

My man is going to be a STAR

[Sansom Sports Media🏀🏈 @BracketNky]

As a part of the growth I mentioned, meet our newest national writer: @Collegehoopsguy!

Being from New Hampshire, Jason is a lifelong Red Sox and Celtics fan of over 40 years. He’s been a college basketball fanatic since 1985, when Villanova shocked the world. He has been a UNLV fan since their title in 1990. There isn’t a sport that he doesn’t follow, from college baseball to NASCAR and the Olympics. In high school, Jason became the first person with an ambulatory disability (cerebral palsy) to play baseball. He had dreams of becoming a sports broadcaster, but turned to writing while attending UNH. After UNH, he worked as an Associated Press stringer covering the AHL. For the last eight years, he was a contributor for Busting Brackets, where he served as the bracketologist for the last three. He enjoys covering every level of the sport, from coast to coast and from the Blue Bloods to the Presbyterian Blue Hose.

I've seen a lot of schedule questions & leaks recently.

Put this tracker together to keep track of the teams within my coverage area!

I'll keep it updated, but if you see something that needs updated, LMK!
