The UC Bearcats men’s basketball team has been on a winning
streak as of this writing, winning its last five games, and going out with a bang with a 77-65 win over Memphis on Senior Night.
Octavius Ellis had nine points and 11 rebounds, as the Bearcats solidified a No. 3 seed in the American Athletic Conference Tournament.
The Bearcats are 2-0 against No. 1 seed SMU and 1-0 against No. 2 seed Tulsa. More importantly, they’ve grown into an efficient offensive team in recent weeks, providing them with the firepower to complement their imposing defense.
Although the regular season is over, the game doesn’t stop. The Bearcats (22-9) open play Friday night in the AAC quarterfinals against the winner of Thursday’s first-round game between No. 6 seed Connecticut (17-13) and No. 11 seed South Florida (9-22). Let’s go, Bearcats!
