A 12-game winning streak will not always be smooth sailing. That certainly was the case when the Cincinnati Bearcats beat Memphis 62-48 at FedEx Forum on Saturday night.

At first, it appeared No. 9-ranked UC (19-2, 8-0 American Athletic Conference) indeed was going to smoke Memphis (13-8, 4-4 AAC) like a slab of the city's famous barbecue ribs. The Bearcats jumped to leads of 6-0 and 33-14 in the first half.

Then, Memphis rallied to within 36-32 as UC went cold to start the second half.
