The Morning Dish – Thursday, December 18, 2014
There may not be another game this entire college basketball season that was more predictable than last night’s interconference matchup between Cincinnati and San Diego State. As expected, the game between the Bearcats and Aztecs was an evenly matched defensive grinder.
