CINCINNATI — A 2-0 weekend emphatically ended the Bearcats non-conference basketball slate successfully and has them moving up the AP Poll heading into the holiday.

Cincinnati jumped from No. 19 to No. 17 on Monday and sits at No. 18 in the NET rankings (their highest slotting since losing to Villanova). 

UC doesn't play this week as the team's focus shifts toward a road trip to face Kansas State in the Big 12 opener next Monday.
