CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The University of Cincinnati has declared Saturday's home game vs. West Virginia a Ring of Red game and encourages UC fans to wear red to the 12 noon contest.

The game is a sellout and UC fans are asked to help create a home court advantage for the team as it seeks a victory which could be very important to its NCAA Tournament hopes, as well as to honor the success of this year's team and coaching staff, and in particular, the five UC seniors who will be playing their final home game.

While Bearcat fans are encouraged to wear red at all UC games, a tradition was started in 2002 in which special games were designated for the show of exceptional support in which UC fans would ring Fifth Third Arena in red.

Cincinnati has claimed seven Ring of Red victories since its inception. Those games are listed on a plaque in Fifth Third Arena.
