Fresh off a 3 win week, the 6-0 Cincinnati Bearcats find themselves ranked 17 and 16 in the new college basketball polls. It's their highest ranking in either poll since Bob Huggins was around.
In other honors, Sean Kilpatrick was named the Big East Player of the Week.
First of many this year, we can only hope. Congrats to Killa, congrats to the team. This is a wonderful time to be a Cincinnati Bearcat.
