Seniors are expected to give a team the most consistency and stability due to their experience at the college level. Unfortunately, Cincinnati’s seniors have not provided these two attributes which has forced the underclassmen to shoulder more of the load in this early season. As a result, the underclassmen were the bright spots in the loss to the Tennessee Volunteers while the seniors were forgettable at best. Overall, the team played much better defense while unveiling a new half-court zone that threw the Vols off-balance, but fouls were once again the main story as Tennessee had 30 (yes, 3-0) free throw attempts.
