Wednesday night the women's basketball team went on the road and picked up their second conference win at West Virginia and improved their overall record to 12-3. Along with the impressive win in Morgantown, the Bearcats have also beaten a top 25 team in Xavier. Is this team surprised at their early success and quick start?
Just like on the men's side it doesn't get any easier. Saturday evening the Bearcats welcome in an equally "hot" Syracuse team. While the Cats were beating West Virginia the Orange were knocking of a top 25 team in Rutgers. This will certainly be a test for this young and developing team.
This time last year the Bearcats had just won their first Big East game of the season by upsetting Georgetown and handing Coach J. Kelly Hall his 300th career win. From that point the Cats would only win one more conference game in what would be a long season. Injured players, new coach, young players....what a difference a year makes.
Saturdays game against Syracuse is part of a double header with the men's team. The women's game starts at 7:30 and is free for anyone that went to the men's game against UCONN earlier in the afternoon. For those unable to make it to Fifth Third Arena the game will be carried on Fox Sports Network (FSN Ch #43 on Time Warner Cable). Game time is 7:30.
