Trevon Scott's late basket pushes Cincinnati basketball past Temple

Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati basketball's regular season ended the same way it has so many times in previous months.

The Bearcats overcame another double-digit, second-half deficit Saturday, beating Temple 64-63 in front of a season-high, sellout crowd of 12,365 at Fifth Third Arena.

UC senior Trevon Scott hit the game-winner on a putback lay-up with two seconds on the clock.

Before that, Bearcats' senior star Jarron Cumberland notched assists on three straight 3-pointers — one each by Keith Williams, Jaevin Cumberland and Mamoudou Diarra — to turn the potential blowout into an eventual victory.

Dramatic as ever, these Bearcats (20-10, 13-5).
