Cougars extend home win streak with takedown over No. 5 Bearcats

After one of their worst starts this season, the Cougars came back to defeat the No. 5 Bearcats 67-62 at home Thursday night.

Senior forward Devin Davis and junior guard Corey Davis Jr. led the team with 16 points each and a combined 14 rebounds to lead the Cougars to the win. According to some polls, it was their first over a top five opponent since 1996.

Davis set the tone for team with a block and rebound right out of the gate, the latter being one of the main reasons the Cougars were able to hang with the Bearcats.
