PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Jacob Evans III hit the winner with .4 seconds to play for Cincinnati and the No. 19 Bearcats got a needed assist from a soaring water bottle to beat Temple 55-53 on Thursday night.
The Bearcats (13-2, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) rallied down the stretch to win their sixth straight game.
Temple led by two points when a turnover and on offensive foul caused coach Fran Dunphy to angrily smack a water bottle on the scorer's table and send the plastic container to the court.
