Don't Indiana-Purdue avoid each other due to Conference games? Why couldn't UC get Dayton or Ohio State in a given year, avoid the matchup against XU? Would Dayton really be that peeved that they don't get Ohio State in an event like that? If this is Holtman's idea and he plans on being at OSU awhile, he can always schedule a home/home with Dayton to appease them. Wouldn't even have to be every year, just rotate it. The obvious place to play these games would UD also, though I'm sure each city would want a rotation between Cincy, Dayton and Cbus.

At the half the Bearcats were shooting 10-22 from 3, but they finished 13-39 (3-17 in the 2nd half).Savannah St making life difficult for UC, up 20 at the half, up 7 with 11 minutes to go. Missing the normal Bearcat defense.
Broome can score, Williams too; but defense? uh oh
Decent crowd for a friday noon game. Northern Ky has a great arena
107-77
UC needs to work on defense
They only allowed 0.84 points per possession. They won't play another team that plays at that pace for the rest of the season.
