Cincinnati Basketball Improves To 5-0 With 71-51 Rout Of No. 14 Illinois

Posted Nov 22, 2021
"We weren’t playing our defensive principles. We weren’t alert. We weren’t executing offensively," Cincinnati coach Wes Miller said. It took two media timeouts for the Bearcats to rediscover themselves. And when they did, they steadily pulled away from No. 14 Illinois for a 71-51 victory to advance to the championship game of the Hall of Fame Classic. (Associated Press)
