Since July 1, 2005 the Bearcats athletic program has been a member of the Big East Conference.
The school men’s basketball team best eras were in the 1950s and 1960s with five presentations in a row at the Final Four tournament. During this period the team achieved its only national championship 1961-1962.
More recently the team has not been quite consistent due to the long-story with former Coach Huggins who was retired from the Bearcats.
The most notable achievement of the team during the Huggins era was the 1991-1992 Final Four appearance which they unfortunately lost to the Michigan Wolverines. |
