Wasn’t pretty but it counts.
The Cincinnati Bearcats improved to 15-6 overall and 5-3 in the American this afternoon. They found a win to win against an aggressive, often erratic East Carolina team that more than proved it is no longer a bottom feeder in the AAC.
Led by NBA-esque 6’9 power forward Vance Jackson, ECU came within inches of pulling off the upset against Cincinnati. Jackson pumped in 25 points in defeat. It was essentially the depth of Cincinnati which helped push them past the Pirates.
ECU relied on 6 players primarily in its rotation.
