On a day the Cincinnati Bearcats were wearing throwback uniforms from the 1970s, they were dealt some winter weather reminiscent of late 70s winters. Though comfortably indoors, the Bearcats appeared frostbitten shooting the ball in the first half and were down 10 points. Though they rallied to tie midway through the second half, the Bearcats were unable to upend the Memphis Tigers, falling 75-68.
At a timeout under the seven-minute mark of the first half they were at just 21% from the field and only 1-for-11 from the 3-point line. By the half they were just 1-for-13 and down 42-32.
