New Episode: The Queen City Sports Podcast by Chris Ball & Mark Raines

by Chris Ball

Loveland, Ohio – The boys are back and at full strength and Chris and Mark are back together again! March Madness is right around the corner! The Cincinnati Bearcats have just three regular season games to jumpstart their tournament resume. Their matchup against the top-rated Houston Cougars on Saturday provides just the boost that resume needs. In fact, Mark says such a victory might be one of the best in college basketball if Cincinnati can somehow pull it off. And he lays out the keys for that to happen. The guys also discuss just what has gone right for the Bearcats on their latest stretch that culminated in a nice win over Baylor, and just what they have to do to improve their tournament chances.

And you may have felt that warmth in the air this past week. And you know what that means! Spring is right around the corner, and that means that so is Cincinnati Reds baseball. Elly and company are hard at work in Goodyear. He has been tearing the cover off of the ball, as has Matt McLain and several of their teammates. Now is the time where hope springs eternal in baseball circles, and Chris and Mark look deeper into how the Reds have gotten better this offseason, and what they have to do in order to outpace the projections and make a run at the crown in the National League Central Division.
