Bob Huggins visits University of Cincinnati for reunion, Bearcats' Homecoming game
Former University of Cincinnati Bearcats head coach Bob Huggins, who has coached the West Virginia Mountaineers since 2007, visited UC for a reunion of the 1991-92 men's basketball team he led to the Final Four in addition to Saturday's Homecoming football game against South Florida.
Huggins' teams from two seasons - '91-92 and 1992-93 - were recognized on the field at Nippert Stadium between the first and second quarters of the game. Huggins was UC's head coach from 1989 to 2005.
Social media reactions to the weekend visit from the legendary Huggins, enshrined last month as a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2022 inductee:
Bearcats royalty.

During Huggs speech tonight he said, “Going into the basketball HOF was nice but this is truly what it’s all about. Being around my guys! UC is a very special place.” #Bearcats
