CINCINNATI (AP) --- Moustapha Thiam had 15 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks,
Day Day Thomas scored 16 points, and Cincinnati beat Utah 69-65 on Sunday to
extend the Utes skid to seven consecutive games.
Thiam, a 7-foot-2 sophomore, had his fifth career double-double and his third
this season.
Baba Miller had 13 points and eight rebounds for Cincinnati (14-12, 6-7 Big 12)
and Keyshuan Tillery scored 10 points. The Bearcats have won three straight for
the first time since they started the season 4-0.
Keanu Dawes made a spinning fadeaway in the lane that gave the Utes a
five-point lead with 1:56 to play. Thomas answered with a jumper before Miller
hit two free throws and then threw down a two-hand dunk that gave Cincinnati a
66-65 lead with 40 seconds left.
Don McHenry led Utah (9-17, 1-11) with 18 points and Dawes had 16 points and 14
rebounds, his eighth double-double this season. Terrence Brown added 11 points
and Seydou Traore 10. Dawes, a 6-9 junior, is averaging 15.8 points and 10.2
rebounds over the last six games.
The Utes have lost 12 of their last 13 overall and 15 straight on the road ---
tied with Binghamton and Gardner-Webb for the fifth-longest active streak in
the nation.
Cincinnati leads the series with the Utes 5-2, 4-0 at home.
