No. 12 Cincinnati traveled to the Cayman Islands "to get some hardware," not to go on vacation, senior forward Kyle Washington said as the Bearcats prepared to face unbeaten Buffalo on Monday in the opening day of the Cayman Islands Classic.
The Bearcats (3-0) oppose the Bulls (2-0) in a game that Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin anticipates will be a tough challenge. The Bulls are picked by coaches and media to win the Mid-American Conference East Division.
"It's time to get some resistance," said Cronin, whose team has routed Savannah State, Western Carolina and Coppin State by an average winning margin of more than 40 points.
