Cincinnati’s first true road game of 2015 (sorry, Redhawks) is tonight against the Memphis Tigers, a team that apparently found out how to do offense properly this offseason but simply can’t play defense worth a lick anymore. Neither can the Bearcats, apparently. That indicates game where we could very well see close to, if not more than, 100 combined points. Offense, hurray!
Here’s the least you should know about this game. Can you believe we’re one-third of the way through the season?
