Cincinnati AD John Cunningham told The Enquirer that Wes Miller will return as the Bearcats head basketball coach next season.

“Wes Miller will be our coach next year,” Cunningham said in his first public comments this season about the state of the basketball program under Miller. “I believe in Wes, and I trust him to get this program back to where it’s supposed to be – in the NCAA Tournament, competing for championships. That’s the standard. We are in constant communication. There are still games left this season, and I expect us to continue to fight.”

According to The Enquirer, the Bearcats were booed by their own fans at Fifth Third Arena following their “lethargic” 54-49 loss to K-State on Wednesday.

Cincinnati has struggled in the Big 12 this season – they currently sit tied for 12th in the conference with a 7-12 record (17-13 overall). Miller has gone 80-56 (.588) in his nearly 4 full seasons with the Bearcats, including winning 20+ games in each of the last two seasons. Cincinnati has yet to appear in the NCAA Tournament under Miller.

Drake moves on to the semifinals.   They should be safely in the field even if they don’t win the MVC tourney as long as they avoid a Q4 loss

Belmont is rolling in this quarterfinal game.   Up 23 with 23 sec to go in the first half

ESPN+ for today but the semifinals tomorrow are on CBS Sports and Sunday's championship game is on CBS

BTW, Ball State (with our old friends Payton Sparks and Michael Lewis) is playing Miami-Ohio on ESPNU. 

The Cardinals, however, are getting whacked -- down 44-23 early in second half.

Have the Ball State-Miami game on for background noise while I'm working and the announcers start to extol the virtues of Mike Woodson. Yes ... Mike Woodson. 

Did a minute's research. The play by play guy did the Washington game last weekend. He got the full sob story that was about 1/3 of the game thread.

P.S. Miami up 60-38. Jeez Lewis, shape up or ship out.

What happened to Illinois? They look so soft. No defense
