Bearcats commit Shon Abaev has been named to the McDonald's All-American game, the first Bearcat since Lance Stephenson. Chuck and Houdini react to the news and all things Bearcats. Subscribe to our show on YouTube! Call-In shows after each and every game. The Cincinnati Bearcats' basketball program finds itself in a perplexing situation. Just three weeks ago, the team was ranked and riding high. Now, their NCAA tournament chances have plummeted to a mere 3%. It's a stark reminder of how quickly fortunes can change in college basketball. Despite the on-court struggles, there's a silver lining for Bearcats fans. Shon Abaev, the program's first McDonald's All-American signee since Lance Stephenson, was officially named to the prestigious team. This marks a significant recruiting win for Cincinnati, as Abaev is considered one of the top prospects in the country. The current state of the team, however, is far from ideal. The Bearcats have looked increasingly worse with each game, regardless of venue or opponent's defensive strategy. The lack of answers on the court is concerning, especially considering the talent on the roster. One glaring issue is the isolation-heavy play of Jizzle James. While talented, James rarely scores off assisted baskets, limiting the team's offensive flow. This style of play stands in stark contrast to the successful offenses of past Cincinnati teams under Wes Miller, which featured players like Landers Nolley who could actually shoot. Miller's coaching has come under scrutiny. With a 6-32 record in Quad 1 games and an 0-10 record in Quad 1 home games, the results speak for themselves. The team's regression from last season is particularly alarming, with multiple 20+ point losses already this year. The upcoming game against Utah offers a potential reprieve, but it's clear that a single win won't solve the underlying issues. The Bearcats need a significant turnaround to salvage their season and restore faith in Miller's leadership. Looking ahead, Abaev's arrival next season provides hope. His offensive prowess and length could be the spark Cincinnati desperately needs. However, placing such high expectations on an 18-year-old freshman is a risky proposition. For more insights and a deeper dive into the Bearcats' struggles and future prospects, tune into the Chatterbox Bearcats podcast for this and much more.

It's been three-and-a-half months since Rex went into administration, and while the planes are still flying, so far the administrators have yet to find a buyer for its regional turboprop operations despite securing a deal to sell off the profitable aeromedical wing Pel-Air. Enter the federal government, which has extended its support for the airline to the tune of $80 million in financing, which the administrator has indicated it wants to use to keep the lights on until at least mid-2025 while growing the operational fleet. Adam and Jake discuss whether this latest effort from the government is likely to bear fruit, and what it might mean for Rex's regional rivals.

In Acts, Peter addressed a crowd at the Temple. He told them, "You killed the author of life." As you and I hear these words, we're reminded that it wasn't one particular person, such as Pontius Pilate or any of the other leasers of that day, or even the crowd standing before Peter that was solely responsible for Jesus' death on the cross.  It was our sins that also led Him to be there. However, Jesus' death wasn't an accident. Here's how God has accomplished our salvation and here's how you and I are now invited to "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”
