Cincinnati finished up the regular season by pounding Georgetown (for the second time this season) 69-47 on Saturday. The win brought Cincinnati’s record to 24-7, and 11-7 in the Big East (tied for sixth with West Virginia). Cincinnati is currently ranked 17th by Ken Pomeroy, fifth highest in the BE.
While the Bearcats non-conference schedule was very weak, their overall SOS was 64th (again, according to KenPom). Going 24-7 against the 64th ranked schedule in the country is certainly reason to be optimistic about where this team is right now, and where this program might be going in the future. Not a bad year.
Unlike the last couple of seasons, Cincinnati won’t have to sweat out selection Sunday, as they should be comfortably positioned regardless of the Big East tournament. As a little tribute to a tremendous season, here are Cincy’s best wins:
| Opponent | KenPom Rank | Score |
| Seton Hall | 56 | 70-53 |
| Xavier | 36 | 66-46 |
| @St. Johns | 31 | 53-51 |
| Louisville | 13 | 63-54 |
| @Georgetown | 28 | 58-46 |
| @Marquette | 34 | 67-60 |
| Georgetown | 28 | 69-47 |
I’m looking forward to post-season play!
