UC bball announces "Basketball at The Banks" event this Saturday. Outdoor courts before football game. More details shortly.
I think this is awesome. Also very smart to host it right before the football game to ensure maximum exposure. I believe having it at the banks, compared to fountain square last year, will help immensely.
But nonetheless, I will definitely be there to support the team!
I will make it down for this, if we had a good coach in football I'd stay for the football game too but instead I'll probably get some dinner on the banks!!!

For anyone that went last year...did they do autographs? The last "scrimmage" I went to was 3 years ago and they had all the players lined up at the end at a table and they signed stuff for you (Lance Stephenson was there, got his auto too). I'm a big Cincy memorabilia guy, and wanted to get a lot of the new guy's sigs.

I got to meet the entire team. I got some really good pics out of it, including one with Mick. Even better I got to meet and talk with Nick Williams and Dion Dixon. Great event! Football game.....not so much. Can't wait for bball.
I could not make it this year. What was turn out fan wise, good crowd?
I thought it was a good crowd considering the low advertising and the crappy weather. I would probably say close to 1000 people were there. The players did not do anything basketball related. They just hung out on the court and a DJ introduced each player. If people were going there to see them "in action" they would have been disappointed. Cronin talked for a few minutes. He didn't say anything news worthy. Ad Mike Bohn talked for maybe a minute. I wasn't impressed with his small appearance.
However, it was a really good opportunity to do a meet and greet with everyone. Obviously they had the current team, but I got to meet, Melvin Levett, Leonard Stokes, Nick Williams, Dion Dixon, Corey Blount and talked with Coach Cronin for a couple minutes. They had the AAC Championship trophy on display too for pictures.
Overall it was a fun event. Could they have done more? Yes, but UC and its marketing team leave me saying that on everything they do. I enjoyed myself and look forward to seeing them in action.
