HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (AP) -- Gary Clark had 13 points and 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season, and Jarron Cumberland scored 15 points, leading No. 21 Cincinnati to an 82-48 victory over Memphis on Sunday that extended the nation's longest active home-court winning streak.

Playing their first game in 10 days, the Bearcats (12-2, 1-0 American Athletic) came out rusty but turned up the defense and were in control by halftime. Clark had an alley-oop dunk and a 3-pointer that started a 15-2 run late in the half, pushing Cincinnati's lead to 20 points.
