Rogue Nation
The man has a point.[Former Bearcat Anthony] Buford says Cincinnati's "rogue" status dates to [the] Final Four trip of 1992 because Cincinnati's roster was packed with junior college players and transfers.
"It was like, they're all transfers, they must be bad," Buford says. "We were treated like the team that shouldn't be there. It literally felt like we were in a place where we didn't belong, and that's how we were treated."
The irony is that the team that defeated Cincinnati at that Final Four, Michigan, later had numerous NCAA violations surface.
