Well, it's over. The season from hell has finally ended on a play everyone in Cincinnati could of predicted. A two point loss with some heartbreak for an ending. This was the Bearcats 6th two point loss of the year.
Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel on this Saturday morning. I am mixed with shock, anger, and joy. Shocked because I still don't believe what has happened this season. Angry because; WHY US. Why does it happen to us. The joy is coming from knowing I get to watch the rest of the tournament.
I think we can all agree that this team was special. We knew the ending and yet we still stood by and supported this team. My heart almost broke when they had the camera on Octavious Ellis for a good 7 seconds as he began to cry. Ellis may have not always of made the smartest decision, but he was are player and all of Cincy should be feeling a little sad.
Say what you want about the clock, but the refs made the correct call. However, Ellis was wacked in the damn head and......a no call. I'm not going to harp on officiating.
Could anyone possible think of a worse way for a senior class to go out. Losing on a 3/4 court shot and then thinking you made a great play to send it to overtime only to find out that your college career is over a couple minutes later.
My first thought is that I can't wait for next year (But we said that last year). Now we can put all our effort in rooting against Xavier.
We'll all float on....till next time 'Cats fans.
