16 Teams that can Win it All - UC included as a Dark Horse
https://www.cbssports.com/college-basket...nto-tiers/

Breakdown: Cincinnati won't have five players on our annual Top 100 (and one) Players list, but by year's end it might well have a case for it. I do, truly, try not to get too far ahead of myself in the preseason. I try not to build up programs too much. But every year we get a nice influx of schools that are expected to make a jump and then do. Cincinnati was already pretty good last season. And it's one of the really good all-time programs (I explained why last season.) Yet this team should be right there with Wichita State at the top of the AAC. It can be a top-10 team. It can be one of the five best teams in Bearcats history because Mick Cronin has never had this much offensive firepower and this many reliable two-way players. Cane Broom is a transfer out of Sacred Heart who dominated the NEC, but almost no one has heard of him. He's going to step on the floor with Jacob Evans, Gary Clark, Kyle Washington and Jarron Cumberland -- and Cincy is going to be as entertaining as it has looked since the peak Bob Huggins years.

Stat to know: Broome comes to a team that only gave away the ball 5.5 percent of the time via steals, the lowest rate last season in college basketball.

Man, I REALLY hope UC lives up to expectations this year. This city needs a winner to rally around this winter, and the little sisters on Victory Pkwy don't count.

In many ways I believe our city and metro are the best they've ever been. But the glaring omission has been having nothing to shout about on the field or court. Hanging some more banners in the new Fifth Third goes a long way to satisfying that need.

2 folks from the ESPN panel predict UC for the Final 4. One has Mick Cronin predicted for NCOY.
