Cincinnati’s season has been among the most impressive this year. The won a hard fought game at home over SMU and won at East Carolina to remain unbeaten in the American Athletic Conference. Struggling Temple looms next for Mick Cronin and company.

Forward Gary Clark was a force in the huge win over the Mustangs. The junior scored 18 points and collected five rebounds in the 66-64 win. He got help from point Troy Caupain’s 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Cincy has all the tools to make a Sweet 16 run in March; they are playing with tons of confidence in a weaker-than-expected conference.
