The University of Cincinnati Bearcats finally got in the Big 12 win column Wednesday night holding off the short-handed Colorado Buffaloes 68-62. They were outshot 41% to 37% but made their last four field goals and finished the game 16-for-21 from the free throw line to corral the Buffaloes.

The Bearcats basketball team is out of the Big 12 basement—but still has a ton of work to do over the next few weeks. Arizona State comes to town on Saturday with a 1-4 conference record, just like Cincinnati.
