For what seems like the 19th time in as many games, the Cincinnati Bearcats failed to hold onto a close lead late the game and found themselves on the losing end, this time to the Temple Owls 67-65 in double overtime.
As we noted last week after UC was buzzer beat at then-#15 SMU last Thursday night, Cincinnati’s knack for collapsing late in games is a statistical anomaly. But apparently this team’s inability to hold onto late leads doesn’t just end with top 25 teams. It’s trickled down to opponents who hover around the .500 mark, like Temple.
