Wichita State (18-4) fell to Cincinnati 79-80 at home Thursday after Erik’s Stevenson late shot attempt came up short.
Jarron Cumberland led Cincinnati throughout, and his late-game heroics propelled the Bearcats to the momentous victory.
The second half was back and forth down the stretch, as Grant Sherfield gave WSU the lead with 12 seconds left, but Cumberland’s efforts were too much to overcome.
For the game, the Shockers shot 48.5% (33-68) from the field and 36.4% (8-22) from downtown.
On the other side, the Bearcats were great throughout, shooting 54.5% from the field and 30% from downtown.
