MEMPHIS - The Cincinnati Bearcats fell 87-80 today to the Memphis Tigers in a road game they should have won at Memphis’ FedEx Forum.
Cincinnati fell to 11-5 overall with the loss and 1-2 in the American Athletic Conference. Memphis improved to 9-5 overall and 3-1 in the league.
After falling behind by double-digits in the first half, Cincinnati clawed their way back in the second half. The Bearcats were largely buoyed by the efforts of on-court leader Jeremiah Davenport, who dropped in 7-three pointers which accounted for all 21 of his points.
