The 17th ranked Cincinnati Bearcats host their first ranked team in the season on Wednesday night at 7 pm when they host the #25 Butler Bulldogs. Here’s a preview of UC’s first Big East opponent of the year.
KEY NUMBERS
Butler is an above average offensive team but their college basketball-leading 95 points per game is grossly skewed by their 144-point throttling of The Citadel in their opening game. The Bulldogs can drop a boatload of points if they get hot but if they’re the best scoring team in the nation come February, I’ll buy a Butler turtleneck, the most awful of attire, and take a picture of myself and post it on this blog.
