Re: Cincinnati Bearcats Legacy (CH2K5)
Cincinnati Improves to 2-0 in C-USA
"White's 20 points helped lead the Bearcats to a 2-0 conference USA start."

The Bearcats improved to 14-1 and 2-0 in conference play Saturday after they defeated the St. Louis Billikens 80-66 in Missouri. James White led Cincinnati with 20 points and Nick Williams helped with 19. The first half of the game was a battle from behind the arch with St. Louis hitting 7 three pointers and Cincy hitting 6. But, things died down in the second half as the Cats fed the ball inside more, dominating the paint and eventually getting the win.
Chadd Moore chases the ball in Saturday's win.

The Billikens didnt score a single fast break point, while Cincinnati scored 26, also the Cats outscored St. Louis by 12 points in the paint, which was the deciding factor in the games outcome. This was the only meeting between St. Louis and Cincinnati this year. After the game coach Huggins and his staff were notified about a recruit that verbally committed to sign with the Bearcats after the season. The recruit is a high school senior, an All-American, and has good potential. He is from Springfield, Missouri and plays the small forward position.
