It wasn’t pretty. It was certainly gritty. But the Cincinnati Bearcats have survived and advanced.
In the opening round of the AAC men’s basketball tournament, Wes Miller’s UC team, the eighth seed, defeated the ninth seed, East Carolina, by a margin of 74-63 today at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
Cincinnati trailed with less than 3:30 minutes remaining before going on a 12-0 run, which cemented the victory for the now 18-14 Bearcats.
The Bearcats’ bench contributed significantly to the win, posting 26 points for the Bearcats.
Nevertheless, it was the Bearcats’ stars, namely David DeJulius, who brought the win home for them.
