The Cincinnati Bearcats open conference play at Fifth-Third Arena against the South Florida Bulls who come in at 105 in the latest kenpom rankings.
Coach John Brannen and the Bearcats cannot afford to lose this game since it would go down as a Q3 loss on their resume and greatly harm their NCAA tournament aspirations. You and I both know what the Bearcats need to do in order to win this game: play tough defense without fouling, limit turnovers, and get to the free throw line and convert.
Although USF added top 100 guard Caleb Murphy to their roster, they are still one of the least talented teams in the American Athletic Conference. Subsequently, they try to make games very ugly. As a team, they shoot less than 60% from the free throw line and only 45% from the field. Expect UC to utilize Brannen’s his half-court zone defenses to force USF into shooting from distance.

KNOXVILLE â When the offense struggled, No. 12 Tennessee turned to its defense and found success.
The Vols, who shot just 32% from the field, held Cincinnati to three points in the final six minutes to pull out a 65-56 victory Saturday.
John Fulkerson had 15 points and 12 rebounds, helping Tennessee pull away late. A 3-pointer by David DeJulius put Cincinnati ahead 53-51 with 6:14 left. The 6-foot-9 Fulkerson came back with four foul shots, giving the Vols (2-0) the lead for good.
Jaden Springer added 11 for Tennessee (2-0), making five foul shots. The Vols went 25 for 30 from the line while Cincinnati went 4 for 7.
Jeremiah Davenport came off the bench to lead the Bearcats (2-2) with 14 points. DeJulius scored 11 and Tari Eason had 10.

Seniors are expected to give a team the most consistency and stability due to their experience at the college level. Unfortunately, Cincinnati’s seniors have not provided these two attributes which has forced the underclassmen to shoulder more of the load in this early season. As a result, the underclassmen were the bright spots in the loss to the Tennessee Volunteers while the seniors were forgettable at best. Overall, the team played much better defense while unveiling a new half-court zone that threw the Vols off-balance, but fouls were once again the main story as Tennessee had 30 (yes, 3-0) free throw attempts.
