Wright State visits Cincinnati on Saturday, August 15th at 1:00 PM EDT at Fifth Third Arena, with both teams opening their 2020 seasons at 0-0. Every August opener carries its own kind of electricity — fresh rotations, new chemistry, and the first real answers to months of practice-room questions.
For the Bearcats, Fifth Third Arena provides a home-court advantage worth defending from the first serve. Cincinnati will look to establish its identity early, set the tone at the net, and reward a fanbase eager to see what this roster can become. Wright State, meanwhile, arrives with a clean slate and nothing to lose — the kind of opponent that can spoil a home opener if you let them breathe.
Season openers are where reputations are rebuilt and surprises are born. Two teams, zero prior data, one afternoon to start writing the story.
