Adding more offensive firepower was a major priority for University of Cincinnati men's basketball coach Wes Miller during the offseason. The dividends of that have shown on the court early on for the Bearcats.
Through the first three games, Cincinnati (3-0) has been able to play a more open, positionless brand of basketball. That's in large part due to the arrival of Memphis transfer Landers Nolley II. The improved ball-handling and decision-making of Jeremiah Davenport, the all-around improvement of versatile big man Viktor Lakhin, and Mika Adams-Woods exhibiting growth as a playmaker for himself and others have also contributed to the Bearcats' new-look, balanced offensive attack.
