Losses can come at you quickly and that’s just what happened on Sunday for the Cincinnati Bearcats. After being locked in a tightly contested matchup with the Houston Cougars for quite some time, a game that had American Athletic Conference title implications turned into a simple rout by the final buzzer.
It all started when a timeout was called following a Keith Williams layup with 13:33 to play that gave the Bearcats a 47-41 advantage. To that point, the two best teams in the AAC had been sparring on even footing and it appeared like the hosting Bearcats were going to have enough to pull off a win.
