It was supposed to be the biggest challenge of the new year, but that’s not what happened. No, instead of going down to the wire, the now No. 14 Cincinnati Bearcats embarrassed the SMU Mustangs on Sunday. The 76-56 win featured the largest margin of victory in the series since SMU handed the Bearcats a 21-point setback in 2014.
The defending American Athletic Conference champions just didn’t seem to have the same punch as they did a year ago, especially on offense. So take a deep breath as well go down into the depths on this one.
