COLUMBUS - Eighty-nine wins over three seasons is impressive for the University of Cincinnati men's basketball team, but for a second straight year they're haunted by the loss of a double-digit lead and an early exit home.
This year it came in round one at Nationwide Arena. Full of plenty of red and black, the house was loud when UC went up 18-5 early in the first half. Josh Bohannon whittled that to five at half on his first basket of the game at the buzzer, effectively switching the momentum.
