The school's sports teams are known as the Bearcats. Cincinnati competes in NCAA Division I sports (I-A for football) as a member of the Big East Conference since July 1, 2005. The school's best-known athletic alumni are Baseball Hall of Fame Sandy Koufax, all-time basketball great Oscar Robertson, and International Tennis Hall of Famer Tony Trabert Baseball Hall of Fame Miller Huggins. Cincinnati's oldest football rivalry, begun in 1888, is with Miami University and symbolized by a Victory Bell awarded to the winner each year. This is, reportedly, the fourth oldest rivalry in college football. Cincinnati also plays Xavier University in the Annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout., and UC also plays Louisville, they battle for the Keg of Nails in Football every year. The school also has an on and off again (albeit lopsided) rivalry with Ohio State University in football. When the schools' men's basketball teams meet in the John Wooden Classic in Indianapolis in 2006, it will be first meeting since the 1962 NCAA men's championship game for the Ohio neighbors.
The school's best known program, however, is the men's basketball
program. Cincinnati has an all time record of 1517-865 (.636), compiled
over 105 seasons. While UC has consistently been a contender in this
sport, it has been marked by several high and low points. The most
notable era in Bearcats basketball was during the late 1950s and early
1960s, when the Bearcats posted five consecutive Final Four appearances.
Unanimous 3-time All American Oscar Robertson led the Bearcats and the
nation for 3 consecutive years in this period, and posted a career
average of 33.8 points, which ranks third all-time in the NCAA.
Ironically, Cincinnati was to win its two national championships in the
1961 and 1962 seasons, without Robertson, under rookie coach Ed Jucker. |
