I mean here is the huge gap between UC and a school like UCLA. When UC beat Tennessee and UConn, I didn’t hear a single mention of it on any of the national podcasts I listen to:
When UCLA, who’s been ever worse than UC, got a big late night win against Washington, it was all over Twitter from the national guys. The podcasts mentioned it too.
UC is the most irrelevant it’s been in years.
We aren’t in the polls, we aren’t being talked about, we aren’t in bracketology, we aren’t in the national discussion.
Say what you will, but UC was in the national discussion every year the last 5 years.
Epsn articles, podcasts, etc.
People don’t realize how razor thin our brand is. No one cares about UC basketball when it’s not winning. No one cares.
We could drop off the face of the earth and no one would notice.
We’re the frickin 4th best team in our own state in a non major conference.

I just hope this doesn't become a Xavier town. I remember the 80s pre-huggins where we were so irrelevant that our games were on WSAI, I think, and Xavier was on 700 WLW.
