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 coach Wes Miller sighed, UC had a key 73-71 Quadrant 1 win.
"I was super proud of David," Miller said. "He deserved that one to go in, the way he's worked at it and how invested he is."
Miller said DeJulius took it hard when he was unable to convert at Tulane in a similar situation less than two weeks ago.
