Cincinnati Bearcats Make One Field Goal in Final 10 Minutes and Fall to Temple Owls 61-58

Despite building a 14-point second half lead, the Cincinnati Bearcats suffer a disappointing loss on the road to the Temple Owls after the shooting disappears in final 10 minutes.

Jeremiah Davenport struggled mightily Before fouling out and the Cincinnati Bearcats couldn’t complete the road win in Philadelphia, falling to the Temple Owls 61-58. The Bearcats made exactly one field goal in the final 10 minutes of the game. 

Early on, Cincinnati established a lead by creating good shot opportunities off pick-and-roll plays. They abandoned it in the second half and saw a drought of seven-straight minutes without a bucket. The 14-point lead they held, just under the 18:00 mark in the second half, completely evaporated. 

Cincinnati had a shot to tie Temple on a buzzer-beating three, but Hayden Koval could not connect. The Bearcats next travel to East Carolina to take on the Pirates Sunday at noon.
