**CINCINNATI, OH –** The Cincinnati Bearcats snapped both a two-game losing streak and a three-game TCU winning streak with a decisive 75-63 victory over the Horned Frogs on Saturday. Jizzle James led the Bearcats with 18 points, while Dillon Mitchell contributed a double-double (12 points, 13 rebounds), his fourth of the season. Josh Reed and Day Day Thomas each added 13 points to the Cincinnati effort. Cincinnati’s strong free-throw shooting (15-of-17) contrasted sharply with TCU’s (3-of-4).

The Bearcats controlled the game from tip-off, building a 10-point lead by halftime and extending it to 20 points in the second half. A late rally by TCU, fueled by a three-pointer from Trazarien White and a layup from David Punch (who finished with 18 points), briefly threatened Cincinnati’s advantage, but the Bearcats held on for the win. Vasean Allette added 13 points for TCU.

Cincinnati’s strong start saw them go on a 13-0 run to begin the game, while TCU struggled offensively early. A late three-pointer by Josh Reed further cemented Cincinnati’s victory. Both teams now look ahead to midweek matchups: TCU travels to West Virginia, and Cincinnati hosts Baylor on Tuesday.
