CINCINNATI -- It was a spring day to remember for Cincinnati men's basketball guard Dan Skillings Jr., who had the honor of throwing the ceremonial first pitch, followed by a visit in the ESPN+ booth.

To make it even better, the Bearcats jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the second inning en route to taking its second-straight win over TCU. Tommy O'Connor, who Skillings wanted to be his catcher for the pitch, also hit a three-run homer.

His full interview is available here.
