UC's Cronin, Moore, Brooks plus SMU's Jankovich on 73-68 UC win Scott Springer, sspringer@enquirer.com
It may not have been the knockout many University of Cincinnati fans had hoped, but the 73-68 win over SMU Saturday night kept the Bearcats neck and neck with the No. 13 Houston Cougars in the American Athletic Conference. Both schools are 8-1 in the AAC, with Houston at 21-1 and UC at 19-3 overall.
The Bearcats will get a crack at the Cougars Sunday, Feb. 10, but first will have to get through Memphis this Thursday.
Though pleased with the win, it was another game where a team hit double-digit 3-pointers.
