TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team will hold the 2018 Red-Black scrimmage on Thursday, Oct. 18, at Princeton High School in Sharonville. Doors open at 6 p.m. with tipoff set for 7 p.m. Admission is free.
This year's scrimmage benefits the American Cancer Society's Coaches vs. Cancer program. Fans can make donations to the Coaches vs. Cancer program online at www.crowdrise.com/UCCoachesvsCancer or at the event.
Seating at the arena located on campus in Viking Village is limited with a capacity of 2,500.
"The Coaches vs Cancer program is something that is very dear to me," said UC head coach Mick Cronin, who currently serves as a board member of both the American Cancer Society in Cincinnati and the ACS's Coaches vs. Cancer program.
"Having lost my mother, and most recently my uncle this off season to cancer, I have a strong passion to help the fight against cancer like many of my fellow NCAA coaches. I want to thank everyone in advance for donating to this great cause and hope to see you there."
The 2018 Red-Black scrimmage is sponsored by Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Honda Dealers, LifeCenter Organ Donor Network and Skyline Chili.
Led by junior guard Jarron Cumberland and senior guards Justin Jenifer and Cane Broome, the 2018-19 Bearcats are coming off back-to-back 30-win seasons for the first time in program history and look to defend their 2017-18 AAC regular-season and tournament championships.
UC returns to newly renovated Fifth Third Arena for an exhibition game against Tusculum on Thursday, Nov. 1, before its season opener with in-state rival Ohio State on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

// SECURE YOUR SEASON TICKETS TODAY
Fans can purchase their 2018-19 men's basketball tickets by logging on to GoBearcats.com/tickets, by calling 1-877-CATS-TIX or by visiting the Athletics Ticket Office on the fourth floor of the Richard E. Lindner Center, week days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
An estimated 97 percent of available season tickets for the arena's 12,012 seats have been sold for the coming 2018-19 campaign leaving less than 400 remaining tickets and only two of 12 price points.
With such high demand, purchasing season tickets will be the only way fans can guarantee their seats for Bearcats' home games against both Ohio State (Wednesday, Nov. 7) and Xavier (Saturday, Dec. 8). Those opponents will not be included together in future potential mini plans. Possible mini plans and single-game ticket sales will be announced at a later date.
