ORLANDO, Fla. -- The shots didn't fall, but Cincinnati is still standing.
The No. 8 Bearcats beat an injury-depleted SMU 61-51 Friday to advance to the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. The Bearcats (28-4) face the winner of the Tulsa-Memphis quarterfinal.
Kyle Washington scored 15 points and Gary Clark added 12 points and 11 rebounds for Cincinnati. Cane Broom had 13 points for the Bearcats, who were 2 of 14 on 3-point attempts and shot 42 percent.
"We won without making shots, which is something Coach (Bob) Huggins taught me 20 years ago," UC coach Mick Cronin said.
