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

by Chris Ball

Loveland, Ohio – March Madness is almost here, unfortunately for Chris and Mark, their teams are sputtering. Mark takes us through the Bearcats tough loss against Houston on the road, and then breaks down their back-breaking loss against Kansas State at home. Cincinnati’s NCAA Tournament hopes appear to be just about over after that loss, so Chris and Mark look ahead a bit into the future for Wes Miller (who the Enquirer has confirmed will be back next year) and the Bearcats roster. The Wolverines were in action this past week and lost back to back games against two very good teams in Illinois and Maryland. The Wolverines are anemic from behind the 3-point line and it is really catching up to them as their offense is struggling to keep pace against the elite tournament teams in college basketball.

The guys also explore the big Bengals news of the day: that the team has allowed star defensive end Trey Hendrickson to seek a trade. What does this mean for Cincinnati’s defense, and for the other Bengals seeking long term deals like Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins? How did the Bengals get to this point, and what could they have done to avoid it? Mark and Chris answer all these questions and more on this week’s podcast episode.
