Miller's 18-point, 17-rebound performance sends Cincinnati past Baylor 67-57
CINCINNATI (AP) --- Baba Miller scored 18 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as
Cincinnati took down Baylor 67-57 on Wednesday night.
Jizzle James added 17 points for the Bearcats (11-10, 3-5 Big 12 Conference) on
6-for-11 shooting. Miller recorded his ninth double-double this season, second
most in the Big 12.
Cincinnati shot 39% (28% from deep) and Baylor 35% (23% from deep). Miller made
all six of his attempts from the foul line, where the Bearcats were 11 for 14,
while Baylor was 5 for 9.
Cincinnati never trailed, as Miller made a dunk on a fastbreak just four
seconds into the first half. An 8-0 run extended the lead to double-dights less
than eight minutes later, but Baylor answered with a 10-0 run. Cincinnati led
35-28 at the half.
Moustapha Thiam converted a three-point play with 16:14 remaining in the game
that made it 45-35 and Cincinnati lead by double figures the rest of the sway.
Thiam finished with 14 points (6-of-12 shooting), and Jalen Celestine and Day
Day Thomas had four assists each for the Bearcats.
Tounde Yessoufou scored 16 points and Obi Agbim added 14 for the Bears (11-9,
1-7), who lost their fourth straight game. Cameron Carr and Dan Skillings Jr.
led with seven rebounds apiece.
