CORRYVILLE - University of Cincinnati basketball coach Bob Huggins apologized today for his team's 2nd place league finish in Conference USA.

"I'm sorry I let the fans and the city down. I mean, I know we've won the league eight of the ten years it's existed, but our fans should expect more. I know they're all thinking that it's just not good enough to own the nation's third-longest streak of NCAA tournament appearances anymore."
