UC is 6-1 on the season with the only loss coming to Ole Miss on Nov. 29. Saturday’s game with the Huskers is UC’s first road game of the year, as the Bearcats are 5-0 at home and went 1-1 at the Emerald Coast Classic. Cincinnati returned six letterwinners and a pair of starters from a team that won 27 games and tied Louisville for the American Athletic Conference title. One of those starters, senior guard Ge’Lawn Guyn has missed the last five games because of an injury, but could be back for the game with the Huskers. The Bearcats’ strength is on the defensive end of the court where they are holding opponents to 38 percent shooting and are averaging over six blocked shots per game. Only two of UC’s first seven opponents have scored at least 60 points in 2014-15. Cincinnati is balanced offensively with no double figure scorers, but six players averaging at least five points per game. Junior college transfer Octavius Ellis has been a force inside, averaging 9.7 points on 60 percent shooting, 7.9 blocks and 2.6 blocks per game while sophomore guard Troy Caupain averages 9.4 points and leads UC with 19 assists. Cincinnati is coached by Mick Cronin, who is in his ninth year at the school after serving as head coach at Murray State. The Bearcats have made the last four NCAA Tournaments, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2012. The Bearcats lead the all-time series, 4-0, but Saturday’s game is the first between the schools in Lincoln. 1 Quote Link to comment

maskershake Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Offense looks like slop sometimes. We think we can throw passes where ever we please, like there is no defense on the floor Quote Link to comment
