Cincinnati Doesn’t Need Overtime to Sweep Wichita State and Keep Tournament Hopes Alive

Two things ended on Sunday for the Cincinnati Bearcats - their NCAA-record streak of four consecutive overtime games and the long and exhausting short month of February.

Two things that did not end on Sunday for the Bearcats - their NCAA Tournament hopes in 2020 and their winning streak against Wichita State.

Cincinnati beat Wichita State 67-64 in REGULATION to extend their win streak to 6 games against the Shockers and improve to 18-9 overall on the season and 11-4 in conference play, tied with Houston for first place.

This game was pretty much like every other game Cincinnati played this season and featured many of the same old struggles - the usual positives but with a few more twists and curveballs than usual.
