Bearcats Continue Record Performance in Ranked Overtime Games Following 81-77 Win Over TCU

Cincinnati has won 12 consecutive overtime games against ranked teams.

CINCINNATI — The 81-77 overtime victory for UC on Tuesday continued some impressive NCAA Division I history. ESPN's Jeff Borzello noted that Cincinnati still hasn't lost an overtime game to an AP-ranked opponent since 1994.

The team has won 12 consecutive games like this, which is an AP poll record. UC is 2-0 in overtime games this season, also beating Howard.

These two victories could prove the difference makers in reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time this decade. Without them, UC would be firmly on or outside the bubble. 

They got them though, and currently hold a 67% chance on TeamRankings to make the dance as a nine seed.

Weirdest/wildest stat I saw tonight from @ESPNStatsInfo: Cincinnati hasn't lost an overtime game against a ranked opponent since 1994. Tonight was the Bearcats' 12th straight overtime win against a ranked team, the longest streak in AP poll history by a wide margin.
