HARTFORD, Conn. – Postseason is here, and the No. 15-ranked University of Cincinnati basketball team showed here Friday night that it has every intention of continuing to win big.
It was not an electrifying atmosphere at the mostly empty XL Center, but UC played major-league ball in easily beating Tulsa 80-61 in the American Athletic Conference tournament quarterfinals.
Junior forward Kyle Washington scored 21 points and sophomore guard Jacob Evans had 20 points to lead UC. Senior point guard Troy Caupain had 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists. UC led as many as 24 points.
“We just want to keep on proving how good we are as a team,” Washington said.
