We tried to warn you. The Bearcats are not to be trifled with, a fact that they proved with aplomb during the first weekend of the season.
Hey, every other college basketball team. Now you can't leave.
While it was only two games and it came against competition that was not exactly taxing, Cincinnati proved that it is about to be a menace to the rest of the college basketball world this season. Blowout wins over Western Carolina and Robert Morris showed just how deep and offensively improved the Bearcats are. It would be folly to believe they will flirt with 100 points every time out on the floor or that they will run over every team they play, but even so, this team lived up to every preseason expectation during the first weekend.
