Cincinnati Basketball: Wes Miller reflects on the Bearcats win at BYU
BYU jumped out to a 31-24 lead heading into the locker room before the Bearcats took over in the second half en route to picking up a historic win.
Cincinnati veteran center Viktor Lakhin put up a team-high 17 points and seven rebounds, while point guard Jizzle James racked up 12 points.
The Bearcats will look to keep the win streak going in the Big 12 home opener against the Texas Longhorns on Tuesday night at home.
With a chance to earn another quality victory, Cincinnati should compete with Texas and potentially pull off an upset later this week!
