Will this be the end or will the 2021-2022 version of the Cincinnati Bearcats play again?
That remains to be seen.
What we do know is that the Bearcats put in a top-notch effort against the Houston Cougars. But that wasn’t enough. Not nearly enough.
Houston won convincingly 69-56 despite a great first half by the Bearcats. Cincinnati shot much better in the first half, despite finishing the game at just 29% from the field.
Cincinnati led going into the locker room 32-27 but a combination of poor shooting and dominant play by Houston’s Fabian White, who led all scorers with 18, proved to be too much of the Bearcats.
