"What a great crowd and electric atmosphere with Bearcat Fans", head coach Brian Kelly. "These are the type of community events that are important in helping building and sustaining a championship athletics program."
UC fans received complimentary promotional items from UC Athletics, along with the hour-long autograph session which featured both head coaches.

I value the opportunity to be able to visit with the fans and want to thank (former UC basketball standout) Mike Larkin for allowing us to visit his restaurant", said head men's basketball coach Mick Cronin.
