The 24th-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats opened their 2016-17 season with an easy 84-55 win over Brown last Friday night, then pulled away from Albany to turn what was a two point game at the half into another blowout, this one by the score of 74-51.
Sophomore wing Jacob Evans lit up the scoreboard, tallying 23 and 19 points respectively with six total three-point goals, but junior transfer Kyle Washington showed what a key addition he is to Mick Cronin’s program. scoring 16 and 13 of his own. Washington is a versatile post player – much more so than the last wave of big men we’ve seen come through Clifton.
