Bob sure has aged over the years. I remember him being so young in 1991 when he brought Cincy into the LNC for the NIT tournament. OU trailed by 8 with 1:30 left and won in OT.
Here is what Huggins looked like in those days. This is actually from the 92 final 4 team at Cincy so almost 25 years ago.

Huggy and Cincy came into Norman in 00 as well. that team had Kenyon Martin and beat a pretty good Kelvin team without much trouble. final score 72-57.....didn't feel that close, being there. at one point in the first half.....OU scores to cut the lead to 5 or 6 and the crowd is really into it. Huggy calls TO. Cincy scored the next 8 points and that was pretty much it.
their half court pressure gave us so much trouble i remember we were making entry passes from the time line. we couldn't even run our sets. Cincy was a darned good basketball team that year.
i think that was the Cincy team that was #1 and undefeated up to the point K. Martin broke his leg in the Big East tournament.
edit: Cincy was actually 29-4 that year (only two losses in the reg season). and still in C-USA....which was still a pretty good conf with Xavier, Marquette, Memphis and Louisville. weirdly, they beat St Louis 84-41 on March 5 and then lost to St Louis 68-58 on March 9. must have been when Martin broke his leg.
