There's a certain tenacity required to play basketball at Cincinnati, one guard Cashmere Wright knows is difficult for opponents to duplicate in practice. "The first 30 minutes we try to wear you out as much as you can," Wright said. "The last 10 minutes, we want you to be as tired as possible. So we just keep pushing, keep grinding ... we know most teams don't play like we play." Pittsburgh certainly doesn't, at least not yet. Wright scored 18 points, Sean Kilpatrick added 16 and the 14th-ranked Bearcats bulled past the 24th-ranked Panthers 70-61 in a Big East opener on Monday.
