2. Fun Fact Jack Laub, A&S '50, returned to college in 1946, after his WWII service as an officer in the Merchant Marine and a stint in the US Coast Guard, to accept a basketball scholarship with the Bearcats. Prior to the war, Laub had already completed two varsity years with the City College of New York, which inducted him into its sports hall of fame in 2002. While at Cincy, Laub, a sharp-shooting guard, became known as the "Black Cat" because of his dark hair, defensive crouch and quick reflexes. He helped UC to four straight conference championships as a player, and Coach John Wiethe appointed him assistant coach and later head scout for the UC team, which made its first appearance in the National Invitation Tournament in 1951. Laub's greatest contribution to UC, however, may have been the day he recommended that Wiethe award Jack Twyman the team's final scholarship

6. Their Basketball Team!!! Alumni may know the back story of UC men’s basketball coach Mick Cronin. After an injury in high school cut short a career as a player, the Cincinnati native began coaching, first as a high school junior varsity and varsity coach during his undergraduate studies in history, as assistant coach at UC and Louisville, then as head coach for Murray State University in Kentucky. He assumed the role as UC’s head coach in 2006. But few may realize that Cronin’s current position is the culmination of a life-long dream of the 1996 history alumnus.
7. The Coach Dan heard Mick's introduction as the University of Cincinnati's 26th head basketball coach -- the Bearcats of the Big East, arguably the best basketball conference in the country and the team the Cronin family grew up loving. Yet Dan couldn't stop thinking about the way Mick, a UC student in the early '90s, hustled to every summer camp from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh in a beat-up '79 Cadillac to make connections, network with coaches and learn the game.
