The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team's woes continued Tuesday night.
Without 6-foot-11, 255-pound defensive stopper Abdul Ado patrolling the paint, the Bearcats lacked the size and depth needed to keep up with Memphis, falling to the Tigers 81-74 on 1970s throwback night at Fifth Third Arena.
Donning alternate throwback uniforms that pay homage to Gale Catlett's UC teams that earned three straight NCAA Tournament bids from 1975-77, Cincinnati (16-9, 6-6 American Athletic Conference) lost its second straight game and suffered its second defeat to the Tigers this season. (UC fell 87-80 Jan. 9 at Memphis.)
Memphis (15-8, 9-4), which upset then-No.
