No. 25 Cincinnati beats Fairleigh Dickinson 119-68
CINCINNATI — Mick Cronin suspected his Cincinnati Bearcats could be “devastating” when they’re on target with their shots.
They proved him correct Saturday.
Senior Kevin Johnson scored a career-high 18 points and No. 25 Cincinnati shot a blistering 64.7 percent from the field while rolling to the highest-scoring game of Cronin’s 11-year career as the Bearcats coach, 119-68 over Fairleigh Dickinson.
Johnson was surprised at the rout.
“They’re a good team,” he said of the Knights, an NCAA Tournament First Four team last season.
