I agree, I think I didn't really word my thoughts correctly. I fully believe winning is the one thing that will bring fans back. My point was more the fans who have turned a blind's eye to the program. And there are some out there. Everybody in this town for the most part is a fan of the Reds and a fan of the Bengals. When they aren't playing well, the fans don't come to games or pay as much attention, but they are still there, waiting for a winner. It's not the same with Bearcat basketball. There are a number of truly disgruntled fans that seem to root against our success at this point that were very loyal supporters for years. We got last year what we got from Huggins for most of his tenure. A ranked team that got to the secound round of the tourney. I'm not suggesting that we're back to the level we were under Huggins, because we're not, but there are some fans from the past that don't realize what is going on down in Clifton because they simply don't care anymore.[/QUOTE]
Last years team won 26 games and where were the fans? UC was, I believe, a 6th seed so they were weren't close to being left out of the tournament last season. Where were the fans at the beginning of the season when UC was a top 25 team? I think the last sentence is true. There is some apathy surrounding this program. That's why I like the direction of the style of play of this team. It becomes a more attractive product and one that people would enjoy watching.
