ORLANDO, Florida — When in doubt, give the ball to a veteran.
That's what University of Cincinnati coach Wes Miller did when the Bearcats had 11 ticks on the clock and needed a bucket. Grad student David DeJulius got the inbound pass, drove the lane, floated the ball and it whooshed through the net.
As Wes Miller sighed, UC had a key 73-71 Quadrant 1 win. The Bearcats now equal last year's win mark at 18-10 and are 9-6 in the AAC. UCF goes to 15-11 (6-8 AAC).
Needing a bounce-back win in the American Athletic Conference Sunday, the Cincinnati Bearcats were playing in front of a Sunday matinee crowd hungry for a win.
