The Cincinnati Bearcats men’s basketball team’s 16 game winning steak came to end this evening at a jam packed H&PE Arena in Houston, Texas.
The University of Houston Cougars weathered Cincinnati’s body blows in the first half and took control of the game in its final twenty minutes. They defeated the now 23-3 Bearcats 67 to 62, handing them their first conference defeat in 13 AAC contests.
Houston earned their 20th win this evening, pushing their overall record to 20-5 and 10-3 in the American, erasing any doubt that this Cougars team belongs in the NCAA Tournament.
