Bearcats pull one out in overtime after trailing by 11 in the first half and 9 with 10 minutes to go in the second half.

Had a chance to win in regulation but Dan Skillings missed both free throws with 3.5 seconds left and the score tied.

Day Day Thomas led UC with 21. John Newman had 20.

Bearcats improve to 13-4 with #15 Oklahoma on Saturday and then a trip to Lawrence on Monday night to play Kansas.

Desperately needed this win.

This is fun going through the Big 12 gauntlet instead of the American.  Honestly instead of asking who does UC play?  When?  Are they on TV? Its become games that are top level and I know exactly who is coming up and where and the time.   The Big 12 is a murderers row for the Bearcats but its nice to see this group rise to the challenge so far in all 4 conference games.  

UC's opponent's points, while playing at home, in the first half has been one of the safest bets of the season so far.

Big time win. Be nice to get another on Saturday!

Monday's game at Kansas will mark the sixth straight game against a ranked opponent.

The last time UC played six straight games against top 25 opponents was in 1993-94, while in the Great Midwest Conference

 

Nice win for the Bearcats!!

Happy that UC won. Even with losing some of the games they have, I believe they are doing pretty well.

Just for info purposes that was UAB, Marquette, Marquette (weird scheduling), St Louis, Cal (non conference game in there), St Louis.
