Men's Basketball Falls to No. 20 Cincinnati, 78-61
Jan 21, 2017 | Men's Basketball
NEW ORLEANS – Cameron Reynolds scored 16 of his game-high 20 points in the second half, but the Tulane men's basketball team suffered a 78-61 home loss to 20th-ranked Cincinnati in American Athletic Conference action Saturday evening at Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse.
Reynolds shot 8-for-12 overall, including a perfect 7-for-7 in the second half, for his seventh 20-point performance of the season, while Ryan Smith added 15 points and Melvin Frazier chipped in 11 more as Tulane (4-15, 1-6 AAC) shot a season-high 16-for-27 (.593) over the final 20 minutes.
Jacob Evans led Cincinnati (17-2, 7-0 AAC) with 15 points, while Troy Caupain, Kevin Johnson and Quadri Moore scored 14 points, respectively.
The Bearcats shot 31-for-55 (.564) from the field and 10-for-23 (.435) beyond the three-point arc, while outscoring the Green Wave, 34-22, in the paint, 21-11 off turnovers, 13-4 on second chances and 25-4 off the bench.
Cincinnati scored the first five points of the game and eventually opened up a 13-4 lead on a Caupain three-pointer at the 14:10 mark. The Green Wave responded with an 8-0 scoring run, capped by a Smith layup with 12:05 to go, to cut the deficit to just one point.
The Bearcats turned their offense into high gear from that point, ending the half on a 25-10 run and took a 38-22 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Cincinnati created its first 20-point lead, 57-37, on a Caupain three with 11:50 remaining in the game, before generating its largest point margin of the game – 22 points – with the score 62-40 and 10:14 left on the clock.
Reynolds finished off his flawless second-half shooting performance with his second three-pointer of the game with less than one minute to go.
Tulane will begin a two-game road swing beginning at Houston on Tuesday, Jan. 24. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. at Hofheinz Pavilion, and the game will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network.
