Final 2009-2010 Cincinnati Projection:

Cincinnati has not reached the NCAA Tournament under Coach Mick Cronin and the fans are starting to mumble. However, this team has the talent to make it, led by Vaughn. However, this is the Big East and it is difficult for any team to have a .500 record in conference play. If the Bearcats end up at 8-10 yet again, it might mean another trip to the NIT.

Projected Post-season Tournament: NIT

2009-2010 Cincinnati Basketball Projected Starting Five:

• Deonta Vaughn, Senior, Guard, 15.2 points per game
• Larry Davis, Junior, Guard, 6.8 points per game
• Lance Stephenson, Freshman, Forward, DNP last season
• Rashad Bishop, Junior, Forward, 5.4 points per game
• Yancy Gates, Sophomore, Forward, 10.6 points per game
