BEARCAT DOWN

The unsightly wrenching of Cincinnati senior Kenyon Martin's right fibula during last Thursday's loss to Saint Louis was matched only by the look on Bearcats coach Bob Huggins's face as the NCAA tournament seeds were announced on Sunday. The selection committee denied 28-3 Cincinnati a No. I seed. Still more surprises may be in store. Martin is on schedule to complete his degree in criminal justice this summer, quite an achievement for someone in the graduation-challenged Bearcats program.
