Despite the fact that Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball teams have always been an outstanding bracket team in the NCAA championship, the teams records in the championship play have varied with the time. Definitely, the most remarkable period in Bearcats basketball was between the end of 1950s and the beginning of 1960s. During this span the team posted 5 consecutive Final Four plays. The well-known 3-time All American guard Oscar Robertson led the nation in records during the 1957-58, 1958-59, and 1959-60 seasons. Also, the guard posted a career average of 33.8 points per game, which makes him the third all-time best in Division I-A.
Nevertheless, Cincinnati got the victory in the national championships only in 1961 and 1962. It happened only after Robertson graduated. In both of those years the team won against the Ohio State. The 1961 award was achieved thanks to the coach Ed Jucker.
Cincinnati Bearcats basketball team started receiving worse records at the beginning of 1970s. After a short span of revival in the middle of 1970s, the team played poorly in the 1980s. It was only under the head coach Bob Huggins, who came in 1989, when the team renewed its power. Under Huggins, the team made a 399-127 record in 16 seasons, as well as gained 14 straight NCAA championship appearances. The most remarkable out of all the teams, coached by Huggins, was the 1991-1992 team, which was defeated by the Michigan Wolverines team in the Final Four.
