Prior to Saturday afternoon’s game against Fairleigh Dickinson, Zach Tobler - the Bearcats version of the human victory cigar - had played a total of 48 minutes in 27 games over three and a half years as a Cincinnati Bearcat.
He played a career-high six minutes on Saturday and the Bearcats pummeled Fairleigh Dickinson 119-68, setting an American Athletic Conference record for points scored. The previous record was 116, set by Rutgers back in 2013.
Kevin Johnson led the way with a career-high 18 points in just 25 minutes, and six other Bearcats joined him in double figures.
