We’ve talked a lot this season about cold spells for the Cincinnati Bearcats on offense. Nothing has quite matched the frustration of the scoring drought they went through in the last six minutes of their 65-58 loss to the Houston Cougars on Sunday. After a three-pointer from Jarron Cumberland with 6:11 to play, the Bearcats did not score again even once. It’s not as if they didn’t have their chances either, as they missed 11-straight field goal tries to end the game.
That disastrous stretch was part of a severely dampened offensive effort.
