Big 12 standings update: Cincinnati is in trouble after stunning home loss to Arizona

Well, this isn’t at all what the Cincinnati Bearcats needed as they aim to make it to the Big 12 championship game this season. Cincinnati has now lost in back-to-back weeks (oddly enough, falling against former Pac-12 teams) as the Arizona Wildcats just gave the Bearcats a 30-24 defeat that is going to frustrate more than just a few Cincinnati football fans.

At home, in Nippert Stadium, the Bearcats were unable to secure a win against an Arizona Wildcats team that has been a bit sporadic at times throughout the season.

Things started off just fine for Cincinnati in this game as the Bearcats claimed a 14-7 first quarter lead over Arizona, but the Wildcats were able to force a few errors from Brendan Sorsby and took advantage of every opportunity to come back and win by six points.
