What a difference two weeks and playing at home makes. After barely fending off the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on the road earlier this month, the Cincinnati Bearcats absolutely demolished the same team on Thursday night in front of the Fifth Third Arena faithful. An important victory that kept the Bearcats tied for first place in the American Athletic Conference, it was a stark reversal of what transpired when these two teams met in Tulsa just two weeks ago.
The biggest role change was from beyond the arc. Tulsa punished the Bearcats from deep in the first meeting and the Bearcats returned the favor in the second.
