NCAA Basketball: Top 25 features upsets galore
By Doug Winkey
13. Cincinnati Bearcats
Previous Ranking: 17
Record: 19-2 (8-0 American)
Cincy is steadily climbing up the top 25 rankings while other, less-consistent teams fall around them. The Bearcats won a huge cross-town battle with Xavier and then followed it up by crushing South Florida by 41 points. A road date with surprising Tulsa is next.
Leading scorer Jacob Evans was huge in the win over the Musketeers. The wing scored 21 points on 7-of-16 shooting and grabbed seven boards. Four other Bearcats scored in double-digits as well, with Troy Caupain leading the way with 16. This is Mick Cronin’s most dangerous offensive team in recent years and should be dangerous come tournament time.
