Just to put this out there, speaking of a half-century ago in hoops... Ohio State has made only 1 non-vacated Final Four since the 60's... their only national title was before Cincy won their two... their #12 rank definitely feeds off the Havlicek/ Jerry Lucas era...

No question about that. But, thanks to football and their status as a major flagship university, Ohio State has always maintained a very high overall athletic profile, and this rubs off onto their basketball as well.

They therefore have "big time" status while Cincy does not, even though their actual historical and contemporary basketball accomplishments are similar.
