UC Hall of Famer Steve Logan to broadcast some Bearcat basketball games on radio

The University of Cincinnati, iHeart Media and Bearcat Sports Properties have added a former First Team All-American to their radio team.

Logan will work several games at Fifth Third Arena this season.

The 2010 inductee into Cincinnati Athletics' James P. Kelly Hall of Fame, will serve as an analyst for home games with Dan Hoard when fellow former Bearcat Terry Nelson calls games on ESPN+. Nelson will resume his radio duties during home linear ESPN broadcasts and all road games.

"I'm excited and so thankful that the school, coaches and iHeart Media are giving me the opportunity to talk basketball for my alma mater," Logan said. "I'm also excited to be next to Dan Hoard, the GOAT of Cincinnati sports, and everyone loves him. I'm eager to learn a new craft and speak about the game and get in tune with the team as well."

Logan's run

Logan was a two-time Conference USA Player of the Year winner and ranks third at UC with 1,985 points, including 22.0 ppg as a senior. He also helped the Bearcats to five NCAA Tournament wins over four appearances. His school records include the most wins (111), highest career free-throw percentage (86.1 percent) and most single-game assists (16) among many decorated achievements.

"We are thrilled to have Steve join legendary Cincinnati Bearcats play-by-play man Dan Hoard," Joe Fredrick, iHeart Media's Director of Sports Marketing, said. "Steve is on the Mt. Rushmore of UC Basketball as one of the greatest to ever do it in Clifton. We are excited for Steve to share his knowledge of the game with the countless number of listeners throughout WLW country!"

Bearcats on The Big One

Bearcats Sports Properties, the locally based team of LEARFIELD, manages the exclusive multimedia rights for Cincinnati Athletics and recently extended its long-term partnership with iHeart Media and 700 WLW to continue to be the radio home of the Bearcats.

Logan makes his debut Monday night when UC squares off with Illinois-Chicago at 9 p.m. Nelson will be on the ESPN+ coverage.

Katrina Merriweather's inaugural season as UC coach will also be the inaugural season of Bearcat women's basketball on radio.

All broadcasts for its inaugural Big 12 season, except for the U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam, will air on WSAI 1360 or The Project 100.7/106.3 in Cincinnati. Each of those is available on iHeart’s website and app, among other avenues.

Anthony Mazzini, the ESPN+ voice of the Bearcats, will handle the road broadcasts, with Henry Lenhardt and Ethan Herzog balancing the home games when Mazzini is on a men's TV call.

“This is an exciting time for Cincinnati women’s basketball,” said Maggie McKinley, UC’s Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Women’s Administrator. “I would like to thank iHeart Media and Bearcats Sports Properties for making this possible in showcasing our student-athletes. As we enter the Big 12, this is the perfect step in growing the program’s brand.”

Cincinnati opens the Katrina Merriweather era Monday night against No. 15 Louisville at 6 p.m. in Fifth Third Arena.
