Preview: Cincinnati Bearcats look to use length, athleticism, depth to claw past EKU

The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team owned a 13-0 advantage in fast-break points in Thursday's win over Cleveland State.

The Bearcats (2-0) were able to use their length and athleticism to get out and run and use their depth to outlast the Vikings, 69-58.

Second-year Cincinnati coach Wes Miller played 10 different players in the victory. Eight of them played double-digit minutes. The other two (forwards Ody Oguama and Kalu Ezikpe) saw more than eight minutes of action. That depth is exactly what Miller hopes to have as an advantage every night.

Long, athletic and deep.
