No. 18 Cincinnati closes home schedule against Houston
CINCINNATI -- No. 18 Cincinnati plays its final home game of the season on Thursday night versus Houston.
The game is significant for a few reasons.
It marks the final home game for Bearcats senior guards Troy Caupain and Kevin Johnson, and popular walk-on Zack Tobler. It is also the last game at Fifth Third Arena before it closes for one year to undergo an $87 million renovation.
"Senior night is for the players," Cincinnati head coach Mick Cronin said. "The fans have grown up with these guys. They've won us a lot of games, obviously. They've been great ambassadors for our program in the community. They did a lot of things in the community people didn't see."
