Old Fieldhouse Window
Cincinnati, Ohio
The Armory Fieldhouse was built in 1954 and originally was used as the home for the University of Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball team, who opened the building with a 97–65 win over Indiana on December 18, 1954.
It was the home of the team for their two NCAA titles in 1961 and 1962, as well as the site where UC great Oscar Robertson broke the NCAA career scoring record on February 6, 1960, versus Houston. From December 6, 1957, the first home game of the season, to December 7, 1963, when they lost to Kansas, the team went undefeated in the building, a streak of 72 games. During that time, they won every home game played at the Cincinnati Gardens, for an overall streak of 90 straight home wins.
The team's final game at the arena was February 14, 1976, a 60–45 win over Saint Louis University.
