A Collection of the Greatest

Stories Ever Told.

Tales from

Cincinnati Bearcat

Basketball

Michael Perry

Foreword by Nick Lachey

The history of University of Cincinnati basketball is littered with charismatic coaches and colorful
players, including Oscar Robertson, the greatest Bearcat of them all, and 2000 National Player of the Year Kenyon Martin.

Tales from Cincinnati Bearcats Basketball covers eight coaching eras, from former National Football League standout John "Socko" Wiethe (1946-52) to the driven and intense Bob Huggins, who took over the program in 1989 and led the Bearcats back to national prominence.
 

Author Michael Perry interviewed more than 75 former UC players, coaches, recruits and staff and compiled 200 anecdotes.
 

The book takes you into locker rooms, practices and game huddles as it recounts memorable moments and unforgettable games, including UC's controversial 24-11 loss to Kentucky in 1983.
 

This is a comprehensive trip down memory lane, providing insight into the Huggins era and, for those who didn't start following the team until the 1990s, a nice history lesson.
