Men's Basketball Hosts Ohio State Oct. 18 for CareSource Charity Exhibition

https://gobearcats.com/news/2024/9/4...xhibition.aspx

The Cincinnati men's basketball program will host Ohio State at Fifth Third Arena on Friday, Oct. 18 for a charity exhibition game.

Ticket information for the CareSource Exhibition Game for Mental Health, as well as the tip-off time, will be announced when available. Season-ticket holders will have priority access, followed by the general public on a first-come, first-serve basis.

"We are thrilled to participate in this exhibition with Ohio State and raise awareness for mental health initiatives," Cincinnati head coach Wes Miller said. "This game will be a great showcase for Fifth Third Arena and serve as a preview for our fans for what's in store for our 2024-25 team."

In his postgame comments with Hoard & Nelson, CWM said he pulled Fredrick aside at half, let him know that he already knows his capabilities & wanted to get the newbies more floor time.

Yeah. Too much should NOT be made from this game in terms of the stats. However, UC held OSU to 35.8% shooting and outrebounded them 38 to 21. Also, UC shot 54.2% for the game,100% from the free-throw line, and 38.5% from the three-point line. Cincinnati basketball appears to have some sense-of-chemistry, and that is a good thing. Nevertheless, we will see the REAL Cincinnati basketball team for the 24-25 season in a couple of weeks.

I goofed. This posting was meant to be in response to the posting by longtimefan and the statistical link that he provided. Oh well, life goes on.

I will give some benefit of the doubt with this being the first exhibition and the experimental lineups, but 21 tos is a glaring stat. The top two pgs had 7 between them. My hope is the old PG Wes Miller will fix that. Regardless, a win over an in state rival is groovy regardless of its status.

CJ played only 4 minutes, Josh Reed 9, all the other scholarship players at least 10.

Nice to see Betsy, Page, and Griffith all getting points. Means they're ready to produce. Seems Mitchell is a good pick up for us and hope it continues. Glad to see this win over a quality opponent even if OSU were a man short. Can't wait to see how well they do in B12 conf.

Many thanks to 247's OSU writer and his entire screen full of tabs and apps. Lol.

I didn't get to listen this but was following a bit on socila media. Looked like total domination on the Bearcats part. 80-62 final and it really didn't get that close. OSU's starting center didn't play, but for a top 35 caliber team, they got blown out.

Hopefully someone will unleash the unofiicial stat sheet on us.

I think part of the reason there are tickets left is that it's Homecoming and a lot of alumni groups have gatherings and reunions going on that night. I've seen at least 3 groups I'm a part of hosting events that evening. Can't be in two places at once. Also apparently some things scheduled have had to cancel due to a lack of parking because of this game and the other events going on at the same time.

OSU's Head Coach Jake Diebler did a press conference today about the game. I'll try and find a link to it but it's not in the usual places.

Here's today's joint presser involving Wes Miller & Jake Diebler. I went to gobearcats.com and found that there are tons of tickets left for Friday night. It's nowhere close to a sellout. Unfortunately, I can't go. I mentioned it to my wife, who shot it down. It's our 44th anniversary & she hates sports.

I believe DIebler and Wes Miller both partook in a Zoom interview, during which Wes said Diebler got all four coaches (UC/OSU/XU/UD) together this summer and discussed potentially a regular season event some day.
