Looks like Huggy Bearcat will be back on the sidelines when the Cincinatti basketball season starts. His indefinite suspension for that ugly DUI last month will end on September 1. That’ll teach him.

BC anticipates a tough final year in the Big East. Evidently, and this is pretty shocking, the other schools might hold it against BC that it’s leaving the conference. Who could have guessed? Fortunately for BC, they’ll be in the ACC next year, where they’ll fit right in. Oh wait …

According to those in the big conferences now, the ACC is about to learn that 12 team conferences aren’t perfect.

Gary Williams hired former star Keith Booth (or “Boof” if you’re Magic Johnson) as an assistant coach. Booth was one of my favorite ACC players. He was undersized for the way he played, but he had a great senior year.
