The Cincinnati Bearcats weren’t able to keep their four game winning streak alive against the UCF Knights on Tuesday night as they lost in the second round of the AAC Tournament, 53-43.
This team showed a lot of growth late in the season. It will probably be the last time #BearcatNation sees IImar’I Thomas donning a Bearcats uniform. Thomas had 13 points, five rebounds and two blocks in her final game. Jillian Hayes had eight points and eight rebounds, leading the team on the glass. Milan Schimmel led the team with seven assists and Caitlyn Wilson tied for a team high with 13 points.
Cincinnati finishes the season 8-16 and will look to regroup for next year.
