The trouble with finding the most important matchup for Xavier against Cincinnati is that UC’s offense is, charitably, a work in progress. The Bearcats are 235th in the nation in effective field goal percentage, 297th in three point shooting, 158th in two point shooting, and 297th in free throw shooting. Throw in pretty mediocre assist to field goal numbers and too many shots getting blocked and you have the 136th best offense. Out of that morass, no single strong player emerges.
David DeJulius uses the most possessions and posts an ORtg of 106.6. That’s bouyed largely good free throw shooting and great ball security.
