High Five:
3. Cincinnati: After Virginia, who’s got the second best defense of the KenPom era? That would currently be (just about) a tie between 2009 Memphis (84.1) and the current Bearcats (84.2), which puts in perspective just how outstanding Mick Cronin’s team has been on that end. Cincinnati is 8-0 in AAC play and only one of those wins has been by single digits. Five have been by 20-plus.
Bests of the Best
Each week, we’ll get to know a standout player a little better by asking them about some of the best things in the world. This week we welcome Cincinnati senior forward Gary Clark, who is averaging 13.3 points and 9.1 rebounds for the Bearcats. So, Gary, tell us about the best...
...animal at the zoo. “Probably a lion. I love watching the Discovery Channel, and seeing a lion in a zoo atmosphere compared to out in wildlife, it’s just like, This is a beast. They have a beast tamed right now.”
...meal that you can make. “I would have to say breakfast, with French toast, eggs, and bacon. My grandfather, before he passed, made French toast for me one time and taught me how to toss the yolk back and forth in the egg to get rid of the egg white so you’re dealing with just the yolk, so it’s easier to make perfect French toast. I try to make it at least once a week, once every two weeks maybe, depending on our schedule and travel.”
...decoration in your room. “My Christmas tree. I live by myself and last year I started a thing where I left my tree up all the way until April. All my friends saw it on my Snapchat all the time and they were giving me the most crap about it. So this year nobody knows but the people I have over to my apartment, but I still have my Christmas tree up. It’s all decorated—lights, ornaments. I may leave it up until I graduate. My mom may come up and take it down before then though.”
