Opening their 2015-16 season UC defeated Western Carolina 97-72 Friday night.
The Cincinnati Bearcats opened their regular season tonight against Western Carolina and they opened strong, winning 97-72. They came out scoring on offense and proved that this season's offense should be a step-up from last years.
While the offense was a little worrisome last season, the defense was suffocating a year ago. With the additions of a couple offensive-minded freshmen, a renewed focus on the offensive end of the court and more of that defense, Mick Cronin and the returning Bearcats are entering this season with high hopes.
