Cincinnati’s Ceiling Rises With Collins | Big 12 Basketball News

Cincinnati’s basketball future hinges on one question: Can MJ Collins play? With ESPN’s Myron Medcalf projecting a ceiling of 22 wins and a first-round NCAA exit — or a floor of 17 wins and no tournament at all — the Bearcats’ new coach Jerrod Calhoun is rebuilding from scratch. Six high-scoring transfers have joined the roster, but Collins’ eligibility could be the game-changer that pushes them past those projections. If he clears NCAA hurdles, Cincinnati might not just contend — they could shock the Big 12 and make a deep tournament run. Calhoun’s vision? National relevance again. The fanbase is hungry. The roster? Still evolving. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
