For the third time this season the Cincinnati Bearcats fell to a top 25 team in the final possession, this time losing to the 15th ranked SMU Mustangs 59-57.
This team exhausts me. Whether it’s dumb luck or the college basketball gods playing a cruel joke on all of us but whatever it is UC just can’t stop themselves from choking away leads against top 25 teams. Against Butler, now a top 25 team, a buzzer beating layup took them down. Against Iowa State, they couldn’t make a shot in the final possession to tie the game and lost.
