When the University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team had gone exactly nine minutes and 40 seconds without making a field goal in Sunday’s 82-76 loss to Wichita State, sophomore guard Zach Harvey called for the ball.
Harvey caught it 30 feet from the basket, pump faked and dribbled away from his defender. And then he knocked down a contested three-point shot that got the Bearcats out of their worst scoring drought of the season.
Harvey finished that game with a career-high 19 points. During the first three weeks of the season, Harvey averaged 2.3 points and 13.
