It’s never easy when it comes to Cincinnati athletics and we will continue to live by the phrase - “a win is a win”.
Cincinnati’s men’s basketball team returned to Cincinnati to host UNLV, after going 2-1 in the 2019 Paradise Jam. Rebels came into the game 3-5 and this was supposed to be the “easiest” game of their upcoming gauntlet schedule.
Cincinnati trailed by 9 points at halftime, but flipped a switch in the second and played 19 amazing minutes of basketball, outscoring UNLV by 20 points in the second half through 19 minutes.
Bearcats led 58-48 with 1:10 remaining, but a few turnovers, missed shots, missed free throws, and ill-advised fouls (and a little bit of referee controversy) allowed UNLV to come back and ultimately tie the game at 60-60 sending it to overtime, the third straight overtime game for Cincinnati.
