Cincinnati's Hot Start in 81 - 60 Win Over Bellarmine Gives Fans Hope for Season to Come

Cincinnati wins their second, and final, exhibition game against the Bellarmine Knights, setting up for next week's season opener.

The Bearcats have always been known for their hounding defense, but it seems the offense may be the thing that keeps the Bearcats in games. With their final warm-up game before getting into their regular season, the Bearcats played Bellarmine in Fifth Third Arena.

Cincinnati came out strong and ready to run the floor. They opened up the game with a rim rattling dunk which woke up everyone in Fifth Third. The Bearcats opened the game scoring on their first seven possessions and wasted no time on the boards collecting three offense rebounds before the first TV timeout.
