You can probably guess one of the teams involved. Thing is, the game wasn't nearly that close. It was 66-11 after three quarters when the foot was presumably lifted from the gas pedal. The second quarter was 26-0. In a conference tournament semi-final game.
People will argue whether this is good or bad for the sport, boring or exciting, etc. But it doesn't get old catching up on the scores because somehow they always seem to one-up themselves. I mean, I get that power imbalances exist...but this is still D-1 college basketball. Cincinnati had to get on a plane to come play this game and now they'll take one back. Can you imagine how demoralizing that must be? It must be hard to feel good about anything else you've accomplished when you know one team is that much better than you.
