The Cincinnati Bearcats 2015-16 basketball season got off to about as good of a start as it could have, as UC beat Western Carolina 97-72 at Fifth Third Arena.
UC’s leading scorer was former freshman phenom and now seasoned unstoppable force Gary Clark, who notched 21 points tonight to go along with his eight rebounds and equally team leading three blocks. He was also an impressive 3-3 from the stripe, which will be critical for a player who will get so much contact down low. But Clark wasn’t alone near the top of the scoring. Fellow forward Octavius Ellis posted a double-double (17-10) and the best +/- on the evening with +27.
