Led by team leader Jason Maxiell the Bearcats looked focused and determined in Saturday's game against Wake Forest. Maxiell had 16 points, 11 rebounds and a huge block in the win. Cincinnati defeated Wake Forest 75-66 in front of a sellout crowd in Cincy. "We were able to contain Chris (Paul) and Justin (Gray)", coach Huggins said after the game when asked about the win.

Re: Cincinnati Bearcats Legacy (CH2K5)

BearcatsFan, thanks a lot for your reply to my questions... I tried out the defensive pressure and that really does seem to help out against that damn 3 that Florida likes to chuck up.

So your base defense is man to man and then you have auto double team on for everyone who gets the ball in the paint? I have never tried this but will surely look into it tonight.

I have found very similar findings with Louisville. When playing lessor opponents I can use my big 3: Garcia, O'Bannon and Dean to shoot and dominate the game. However when I go up against the big schools I have to pound the ball inside to Miles and company to stay in the game. I have a couple of big recruits coming in next year that should help out my very weak front court.

Thanks for all the input, let me know about your defense and what offensive plays you run if any.

Great dynasty you got going!

Rookie Center Leads Bearcats to Victory
"Asrangue Souleymane, the rookie center for Cincy got his first career double-double in the win."
Friday January 28th, 2005
The Cincinnati Enquirer

Asrangue Souleymane grabbed 10 rebounds and scored 15 points as the Bearcats got their seventh straight win and sixth conference win over the South Florida Bulls last night 98-69. Cincinnati had five players in double figures in scoring, two of which came off the bench. Vincent Banks led all scorers with 18 points in the win.


Eric Hicks slams the ball, he finished with 10 points and 9 boards.

Vincent Banks scored 18 points off the bench, while Eric Hicks added another 10. Together the whole Bearcat bench had 48 points, about half the teams total points. With the win the Bearcats have won 19 of their first 20 games, thats a winning percentage of 95%. It should continue at least one more game as Cincinnati will face the Houston Cougars next, a team that is in the bottom half of the C-USA standings. After that the Cats have a tough game against Louisville at Freedom Hall.

It would be nice to have one player on your team to lead all NCAA teams in a single catergory, but to have two is incredible. Cincinnati has the NCAA leaders in both three pointers made, and steals per game. Muhammad has been great on defense all season, and with an average of three steals a game, coach Huggins is gifted to have him as his starting guard. Nick Williams barely edged out Kansas guard Aaron Miles in three's made, Williams has 62, Miles has 60. Williams and Muhammad are together, one of the most dangerous backcourts in the NCAA, they can shoot well, pass well and are both great on defense.

Awful, just awful. Those were the only words out of coach Huggins mouth last night after a heartbreaking loss to Houston. Andre Owens, the Cougars senior guard scored 30 points on the Bearcats. Houston was ahead by 14 at one point in the game. "This was the first time I've seen so many fans leave early at one of our games." Muhammad said after the loss.

Houston dominated the glass, everytime they missed a shot, they got the offensive board and made the easy layup. Cincinnati also was in foul trouble all night, James White and Jihad Muhammad both sat most of the first half. The Cougar guards were just to much to handle. With defensive star Jihad Muhammad on the bench, point guard Andre Owens took the game over making buckets all over the court. Next up for the Cats is a trip to Freedom Hall to take on the #11 Louisville Cardinals.

Re: Cincinnati Bearcats Legacy (CH2K5)

Ouch, tough loss to Houston. They beat me when I was playing with LSU, mostly because of Andre Owens - dude is nasty.

Marquette is having an average season, I see.. Looks like it'll come down to you and the Cardinals in the C-USA.

Keep it up.
