Cincinnati basketball finally got caught playing too close to the edge.
The Bearcats fell 89-87 to UCF in double overtime Wednesday at Fifth Third Arena, a loss that will likely have American Athletic Conference and NCAA Tournament consequences.
Entering off two overtime victories, UC (17-9, 10-4) mounted two furious late comebacks, one after trailing by nine with 6:30 to play in regulation and again in the first overtime with two dramatic 3-pointers by Jaevin Cumberland.
