Williams' 1,000th point was key in another gritty Bearcats victory

Keith Williams would not let the University of Cincinnati men's basketball team lose on Sunday.

The Bearcats' senior leader scored a game-high 20 points, including a personal 9-0 run in the second half, to lead Cincinnati to a 64-61 win at Tulane.

"We don't win tonight's game without his effort," UC coach John Brannen said.

A lot went wrong for Cincinnati for the second straight game. But also for the second straight game, the Bearcats (5-7, 3-4 American Athletic Conference) did enough to win, improving to 2-0 since COVID-19 issues kept them off the court for 25 days.
