The Cincinnati Bearcats squeaked by East Carolina 65-56 to earn their 11th AAC win of the season and complete the sweep of the Pirates on the road.
This was a starkly different result from UC’s visit to Greenville last season. That was, of course, when the Bearcats blew a seven point lead in the final segment of game by turning it over twice, missing a pair of threes, and playing egregiously terrible defense. An 11-0 run by East Carolina in the last 3:05 propelled them to a 50-46 victory as UC coaches, players, and fans were left scratching their heads.
