Cashmere Wright scored a career-high 25 points and short-handed Cincinnati reached the 100-point mark for the first time in six years in a 101-70 rout of visiting Radford on Saturday.
Cincinnati (7-3) has won both games since last week's brawl against Xavier that led to six-game suspensions for Yancy Gates, Cheikh Mbodj and Octvavius Ellis. Cincinnati defeated Wright State 78-58 on Wednesday.
The Bearcats, who dressed 10 players, made certain this victory was even easier. Cincinnati scored the game's first 12 points and led 55-23 at halftime. The lead reached 43 points in the second half before Bearcats coach Mick Cronin pulled his starters.
Cincinnati hadn't scored 100 points in a game since scoring 105 against North Carolina A&T on Dec. 30, 2005.
Sean Kilpatrick scored 16 points and Dion Dixon added 15 for Cincinnati, which shot 60.3 percent from the field.
Radford (3-9) has lost eight consecutive games. Jareal Smith led the Highlanders with 22 points. Johnathan Edwards added 16 points while R.J. Price scored 11.
