It’s only fitting that the Cincinnati Bearcats sealed their win over the Memphis Tigers on Saturday with an impressive defensive play. Leading 71-69 with 4.9 seconds to play, Trevon Scott missed a free throw. Memphis collected the rebound and tried to get it down the court with an outlet pass near half court, but Logan Johnson rushed in, stole the pass and then dribbled out the clock.
Even though the Bearcats were not perfect defensively through all 40 minutes, they still managed to slow down the Tigers and not just on Johnson’s game-winning steal.
