Mick Cronin's University of Cincinnati Bearcats had five starters in double figures Friday including two with double-doubles. They shot 50 percent from the field and outrebounded their opponent by a dozen. Yet there are still concerns.

A winless Milwaukee team played UC even for a half and the Bearcats didn't take the lead for good until under the 10-minute mark before pulling away 74-63. UC played without starting senior point guard Justin Jenifer who was out with a stomach virus.
