Myles Colvin Hits 7 3-Pointers, Scores 31 to Help Cincinnati Beat Green Bay 81-64
Colvin hit 7 of 12 from 3-point range as Cincinnati forced 21 turnovers and pulled away with a 12-0 second-half run.
On Thursday, Myles Colvin scored 31 points with 7 three-pointers to lead Cincinnati past Green Bay 81-64 at Fifth Third Arena. The victory improved the Bearcats to 2-0.
With Jayden Hastings and Akai Fleming sidelined by injuries, Cincinnati relied on roster depth to establish early control. Amani Lyles contributed 14 points as the Bearcats overcame the absence of key contributors.
Cincinnati's defense forced 21 turnovers while the Bearcats shot 48% from the floor. The team converted 15-22 free-throw attempts in a foul-heavy contest that saw both squads combine for 34 fouls.
Cincinnati will host Minnesota on Monday, seeking to extend its undefeated start. The 2-0 Bearcats shift focus to Big 12 conference play after a successful opening week.
Head coach Jerrod Calhoun described Colvin as a "versatile perimeter player" with a "tremendous ability to make shots." His clinical performance against Green Bay demonstrated why Colvin has become essential to Cincinnati's offensive schemes.
