UC men to open AAC play Saturday against Tulane after COVID-19 halted opener at Houston

Editor's note: Statistics in this story are current as of press time Wednesday afternoon. Tulane was scheduled to play Memphis Wednesday night. For coverage of Saturday's game, check Cincinnati.com and the Monday print edition of The Enquirer.

First-year University of Cincinnati men's basketball coach Wes Miller was supposed to get his first taste of American Athletic Conference (AAC) action Tuesday night at No. 12 Houston, the defending conference champion who reached the Final Four of the NCAA tournament a season ago.

That game was initially canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Cougars program and thus considered a no-contest and forfeit win for the Bearcats.
