Cincinnati (8-3) also scored 101 points against Radford on Saturday, the first time the Bearcats had reached the century mark since 2005.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff (1-9) has lost seven straight games. Daniel Broughton and Mitchell Anderson scored 12 points apice for the Golden Lions, who play their first 16 games either on the road or at a neutral site.
Jaquon Parker scored a career-high 17 points, including a four-point play in the second half for Cincinnati. Dion Dixon scored 16 points, Jeremiah Davis added 13 and Sean Kilpatrick had 12.
Wright's 3-pointer gave the Bearcats the lead for good 14-13 nearly six minutes into the game. The lead reached doubles figures midway through the first half.
Cincinnati's Yancy Gates, Cheikh Mbodj and Octvavius Ellis are sitting out six-game suspensions for their actions in the Xavier game.
