Houston’s NCAA Tournament hopes took a major blow Tuesday evening as the Cougars fell to Cincinnati 65-57.
Late in the third quarter, the Cougars took a series of charges on the defensive end of the floor to spark their offense, who struggled to find any kind of rhythm throughout the first half.
UH hit its next four 3-pointers and took the lead for the first time all game early in the fourth quarter.

Houston women’s basketball senior guard Julia Blackshell-Fair is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL.
“Nobody expects this to happen to them and when I heard the news, I was devastated,” Blackshell-Fair said. “This is an extremely talented team and I know they’ll go far and do great things.”
The injury occurred during the game against Temple on Jan. 20 in the third quarter. Blackshell-Fair went down hard after a missed jumper.
