24. Cincinnati Bearcats

Previous Ranking: Not Rated

Record: 7-1

The Bearcats storm back into our rankings thanks to a huge road win over Iowa State in Ames. Mick Cronin’s crew had a narrow loss against Rhode Island at Mohegan Sun, which kept them just outside the top 25 last week. Their next big test comes on the road, as they will try to take down Butler.

One of biggest keys to Cincinnati’s success has been NC State transfer Kyle Washington. The junior forward is putting up 16.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per contest. His combination of solid offense and rim protection has been central to the Bearcats’ early success.
