Gary Clark secures another double-double in a much-needed Bearcats victory.
Only days after a heart-breaking overtime loss to Tulsa, Cincinnati bounced back to earn their 20th win of the season in a defensive showcase. The Bearcats, led by another Gary Clark double-double, controlled the paint and ended up with a much-needed 65-60 victory at Fifth Third Arena over the UConn Huskies.
Cincinnati's defensive performance was impressive all game, with Bearcats defenders getting into passing lanes, contesting shots, blocking shots and finishing off possessions by attacking the boards. It all got started from the opening tip, with Cincinnati leading by as much as 11 points by the eight-minute mark in the first half.
