Miller Safe at UC, Despite Fan Backlash

0:00On March 2nd, University of Cincinnati basketball coach Wes Miller appears safe for now. Insider Trilly Donovan recently moved him from the hot seat to trending safe, signaling no coaching change this offseason. The bear cats heated up in February, putting themselves back on the NCAA tournament bubble. They need at least four more wins, including two in the conference tournament, to build a solid case at 20 wins and 13 losses. Fans made their frustration clear during Saturday's game against Oklahoma State, displaying sheets calling for Miller's dismissal. The team has struggled with an 11 and 47 record against top Quad-1 opponents this decade. Injuries plagued the season, the worst under Miller so far, along with a damaging Quad-4 loss to Eastern Michigan and no standout non-conference. Analytics give them just a 1% shot at the tournament. With his buyout dropping from $9.9 million to $4.69 million next year, Miller seems headed for a six-season leading. The bear cats.
