Jaquon Parker scored a career-high 17 points, including a four-point play in the second half for Cincinnati. Dion Dixon scored 16 points, Jeremiah Davis added 13 and Sean Kilpatrick had 12.

Wright's 3-pointer gave the Bearcats the lead for good 14-13 nearly six minutes into the game. The lead reached doubles figures midway through the first half.

Cincinnati's Yancy Gates, Cheikh Mbodj and Octvavius Ellis are sitting out six-game suspensions for their actions in the Xavier game.
