HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. -- At the outset, the Bearcats didn't miss a thing, hitting their first 13 shots and all four free throws. When they needed one more basket at the end to set a school record, they came up empty -- the only disappointment in another dominating performance.
Jarron Cumberland led Cincinnati's opening blitz of perfect shooting, and the 12th-ranked Bearcats pulled away to a 97-54 victory over Coppin State on Thursday night. The game ended with a reserve guard dribbling out the clock and the crowd murmuring.
The Bearcats (3-0) piled up 107 and 102 points while beating Savannah State and Western Carolina.
