HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. -- Gary Clark scored 18 points, and Kyle Washington had a pair of put-backs that sparked a late run as No. 20 Cincinnati pulled away to an 81-62 victory over Cleveland State on Thursday night.
The Bearcats (11-2) struggled to extend their home-court winning streak to 33 games, the longest in the nation. Washington's consecutive rebounds and baskets pushed it to 66-56 -- only Cincinnati's second double-digit lead of the game -- and sparked a closing 21-8 run.
Jarron Cumberland added 16 points for Cincinnati, which is playing this season at BB&T Arena at Northern Kentucky University while its on-campus arena is renovated.
