Cincinnati Basketball: Wes Miller breaks down the Bearcats loss in Big 12 play

Cincinnati Bearcats coach Wes Miller broke down a 74-73 loss to the Texas Longhorns during the postgame press conference.

"Losing always hurts but when you lose a game like that, it strings in a very serious way. I was really proud of how we kept fighting all night."

It appeared the Bearcats were going to pick up a fifth straight win but a poor free throw shooting performance was just too much to overcome.

Texas forward Dylan Disu dominated throughout the game en route to dropping a career-high 33 points and six rebounds to lead the Longhorns.

Bearcats guard Simas Lukosius had a season-best 19 points, and center Viktor Lakhin put up 17 points and four rebounds against Texas.

Cincinnati grabbed a 73-70 lead with less than a minute to go but Texas responded with back to back buckets to squeak out a thrilling victory.

Despite falling a bit short, the Bearcats found plenty of success on offense against Texas by shooting 7/17 from 3-point territory tonight.

There were plenty of factors in the last-second loss including an inability to limit the Longhorns frontcourt from creating quality looks all game.
