On this week's edition of VIVA LA CATS, Justin & Steve have once again found a sliver of hope in the sliver of opportunities that remain for the Bearcats to make the NCAAT. Can they do it? Their recent run after a January of procrastination is something to behold. A win or loss at Houston is the stamp of approval or the sign to log off, so it's a win win for alike tired Cincinnati fans. We also cover the #23 ranked Bearcats baseball team and how things feel different than years past! In the back half we talk about the newly finished IPF and the Bearcats Sports Wrapup!
