The No. 5 Cougars held on for their second straight win, topping the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday afternoon, 67-62.
Cougars looked to be cruising toward a win early on in the first half going up as much as 14, however, Cincinnati refused to go away easily and began to pressure the Coogs on both ends of the court.
The Bearcats mounted a 15-2 run gaining their first lead of the day with just over one minute to go in the period. J’Wan Roberts put the Coogs on the board seconds before the first buzzer sounded after being held scoreless for over four minutes.
