The final game of the opening round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament will be between our beloved Bearcats and those dastardly Saint Joseph’s Hawks of the Atlantic 10. Be sure to get a nap sometime this afternoon or you’ll be dragging by about halftime of this one considering it will tip off no earlier than 9:57 Eastern and this will be a dragged out defensive struggle.

We’ve been previewing the game through the week here on Cincy on the Prowl so feel free to get yourself acquainted with Cincinnati’s next opponent with the following posts:
