Anyone who has watched even a few minutes of Cincinnati Bearcats basketball during the last decade knows that they play a very distinct style. Games are won by hammering teams defensively, grinding out possessions on offense and making as few mistakes as possible. You can’t really argue with the results. Back-to-back 30-win seasons over the last two years and eight-straight NCAA Tournament appearances don’t just happen to everybody. With that kind of success, it might seem foolish to try to make changes, but this year’s Bearcats might need some.
UC has won four-straight games, but each one has been an absolute fist fight, marked by less than ideal offensive work from the Bearcats.
