After an eight-month wait, season No. 2 under Wes Miller is underway for the University of Cincinnati men's basketball team.
David DeJulius scored a game-high 24 points, Landers Nolley II added 19 in his Cincinnati debut and the Bearcats cruised to a season-opening 98-55 win over Division II Chaminade on Monday at Fifth Third Arena.
The matchup marked Cincinnati's first-ever meeting against the Silverswords, who faced the Bearcats in what was their third and final exhibition game. Chaminade previously played Tuesday at Ohio State (lost, 101-57) and Louisville on Thursday. The Silverswords led the Cardinals with six minutes left before falling, 80-73.
