The Cincinnati Bearcats’ 2015-16 basketball season was a roller coaster ride in every sense of the term. The highs of a top 20 ranking in December were ruthlessly bludgeoned by the lows of a double overtime loss to Temple just a month later.
That loss to the Owls, completing a season sweep by Temple I might add, was enigmatic of a season in which Cincinnati simply couldn’t close out teams when it mattered the most. You know, like at the end of games.
We documented it in early January, even before that overtime loss to Temple, how statistically remarkable the Bearcats’ late game meltdowns truly were.
