Now they will try to fix some bad habits on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bearcats.

The Huskies have a problem coming out of the gate strongly in Big East play. They trailed 15-1 in a loss to Georgetown, and were down 7-2 before coming back against Rutgers.

After being outscored 144-95 in consecutive losses to Memphis and Marquette, the Bearcats allowed 87 points in a home loss to Providence. Last year the Cincinnati bench scored only 27.4 percent of the team’s points, while this year they have scored 42 percent of the points.

Cincinnati will be an interesting test for the Huskies, especially on the road. The Bearcats have a revamped interior this season, with freshman Yancy Gates and senior Mike Williams having a big impact on the glass. Be sure to get your college basketball betting with Bodog now.
