Cincinnati Basketball Adds Home Matchup to 2025 Non-Conference Schedule

 The Bearcats have locked in another solid non-conference matchup for the 2025-26 basketball season. 

Cincinnati is facing Mount. St. Mary's at home on Sunday, Nov. 16. It will be the second meeting between the schools, with Cincinnati winning the first matchup 69-59 to open the 2010 season.

The Bearcats have just one open non-conference game left on the board with a very strong schedule already laid out, featuring games against top schools like Louisville and Georgia. They have a new frontcourt scorer ready for the action in Jalen Haynes.

"Jalen Haynes is a beast," UC head coach Wes Miller said about Haynes this summer. "He brings a level of physicality to our frontcourt that will translate immediately in the Big 12. He plays with a high motor, he attacks the backboards, and he values winning. Offensively, he brings a diverse and valuable skill set to our team. He can really score, but he also has the ability to generate offensive opportunities for his teammates."
