Connie Dierking has passed away at the age of 77. Condolences to the family and friends of a Bearcat legend.
David I had the pleasure of seeing him play for the Cincinnati Royals. Had one heck of a Hook shot.I am too young to have seen him play, but I know enough of my Bearcats history to know he was one of the good ones. May he rest in peace.
He played on the Royals and as stated had a sweeping hook shot. Was actually very accurate with it. The Problem the Royals had was they allways had to face the Celtics. really don't have much recollectionof him in College. He did own Losantiville Bowling lanes at one time if memory serves me.like David, i am too young to have watched Dierking play...think it would be awesome if some of our posters who had the chance to watch him play, would write about Dierking...i know i am curious...
