MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Jeremiah Martin made a career-high eight 3-pointers and scored a game-high 26 points and teammate Kyvon Davenport added a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds, but their efforts weren't enough Thursday night against 25th-ranked Cincinnati.
The Bearcats rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to defeat the Tigers, 69-64, in an American Athletic Conference game before 16,363 at FedExForum. Jarron Cumberland, the league's second-leading scorer, led Cincinnati (20-3, 9-1 The American) with 17 points and Justin Jenifer added 14. Jenifer had four 3-pointers.
Memphis led by 11 early in the second half -- and for more than 20 minutes in the game -- but couldn't hold on to its lead.
