Final.

 

UC wins a must win game.

Good win for UC this was not a game they could lose and make the NCAA.

The Bearcats really needed to get this one.

Nice to see them respond in the 2nd half. Ellis is a turd, really dumb thing to do in a must win game.

If you would have told me that Caupain and Cobb would only have 5 points each and Ellis would be ejected halfway through the 1st half, I would have thought UC would lose by double digits. Nice to see them respond and get the W.

 

Great time for Shaq to score a career high.

First of three consecutive must win games in the books. Far from out of the woods, but one small step in the right direction...

I was glad that UC got the win, was a big W for the Bearcats.

I am a Xavier fan, but I pull for UC for every other game (albeit for selfish strength of schedule reasons) - good for UC to get back on the winning track.

Houston (9-17, 1-13 in the American) lost to USF last Tuesday. That means they are truly bad. If UC had lost this game for any reason, I'd be in shock.
