Cincinnati's Mick Cronin might be having some second thoughts.

After winning their first three games by an average score of 102-61, the No. 12 Bearcats left the cold of southern Ohio for the blue water, sunny skies and sandy beaches of the Cayman Islands for a matchup with Buffalo in the first round of the Cayman Islands Classic on Monday.

"It's time to get some resistance," Cronin told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "We need to start to play some teams that can beat us if we don't play well."

The Bulls, picked to win the Mid-American Conference East Division, gave the Bearcats all they could handle.
