The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team wrapped up its two‑game exhibition swing in The Bahamas with a 107‑66 victory over Calgary, sealing an undefeated 2‑0 record. The win capped a trip that began with a solid opening performance and ended with a display of offensive efficiency that left the coaching staff pleased.
Firepower and Efficiency
UC’s shooting improved dramatically from a 29% three‑point clip in the first game to 56% against Calgary, going 20‑for‑36 from beyond the arc. The Bearcats also outrebounded the opposition 43‑24 and forced 16 turnovers that translated into 24 points. Fast‑break opportunities were abundant, with the team building a 27‑0 lead in the second half before pulling back to a 23‑point halftime advantage.
Coach Jerrod Calhoun experimented with multiple lineups, giving key minutes to players such as Trevian Carson, Akai Fleming and Adlan Elamin. Senior forward Myles Colvin, who scored 25 points in just 19 minutes, emphasized the team’s depth, noting that ten players are capable of contributing offensively. "Our depth will make it harder for opponents to stop us," Colvin said.
Looking Ahead
The Bearcats are scheduled to return to action on October 7, when they face Ohio State at the Lindner Tennis Center in Mason. The upcoming matchup will serve as the next test for a roster that Coach Calhoun believes is poised to carry its early‑season momentum into the regular campaign.
