CINCINNATI (Interstat) — The undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats look to extend their strong start to the season when they host the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers in a non-conference men’s basketball game Sunday at Fifth Third Arena.

Cincinnati (3-0) is coming off a 74-62 home victory over Dayton on Tuesday. Day Day Thomas led the way with 20 points and four assists, while Kerr Kriisa dished out eight assists. The Bearcats have won each of their first three games by double digits, including a season-opening 94-63 rout of Western Carolina.

Mount St. Mary’s (1-2) earned its first win of the season Tuesday, defeating Saint Francis (PA) 74-66. Patrick Haigh scored 15 points in the victory, with Trey Deveaux adding 14 and Justin Amadi contributing 12. The Mountaineers’ two losses came against Bucknell and West Virginia.

The game is part of a challenging early-season stretch for the Mountaineers, who will face Maryland, Western Michigan and Ohio State in the following week.

Cincinnati will look to maintain its momentum before hitting the road for a rivalry game at Louisville next Friday.
