Senior forward Keith Williams had waited all game for a chance like this one.
The University of Cincinnati’s senior forward had spent most of the game on the bench with foul trouble and had hardly touched the ball. But when UC trailed Tennessee by five points with 50 seconds left, Williams was open in the left corner for a three-point shot that could have changed the game.
It clanked off the side of the backboard.
With UC’s two leading scorers sidelined by foul trouble, the Bearcats could never find a consistent source of offense in a 65-56 loss to the No.
