Bearcats stumble to Vanderbilt, 78-64, in season finale at Fifth Third Arena

Vanderbilt had never beaten Cincinnati in Cincinnati. That changed Thursday night.

In what was likely his final game at Fifth Third Arena, Keith Williams scored 20 points to lead the University of Cincinnati men's basketball team, but the Commodores converted 18 Bearcats' turnovers to 24 points and snatched a 78-64 victory.

Cincinnati dropped to 6-2 all time and 4-1 in the Queen City against its foes from the Southeastern Conference.

Scotty Pippen Jr., the son of six-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, scored a game-high 36 points, including 5-for-6 from 3-point range, to lead Vanderbilt (8-14)

Next: The Bearcats (9-10), who have clinched the fifth seed and a first-round bye in next week's American Athletic Conference tournament, are scheduled to end their regular season Sunday at East Carolina.
