The Cincinnati Bearcats took down what turned out to be a fairly pesky Houston Cougars team 70-59. They were 13-2 and undefeated in the AAC but a paper cougar of sorts.
Houston ranked 122nd in RPI coming into tonight with their best win over 88th ranked Temple, who were probably a big benefactor in defeating the Bearcats two weeks ago. Five of their 13 wins are over RPI 300 teams.
So, maybe their record was a little bit skewed.
And tonight the Bearcats proved that out, maintaining a relatively comfortable double-digit lead for most of the game.
