The Cincinnati Bearcats suffered a disappointing 72-67 loss to Arizona at home, plagued by poor offensive performance. Despite 18 points and 6 rebounds from Dan Skillings Jr., the Bearcats struggled with turnovers, shooting just 39.1% from the field and 5-25 from beyond the arc. Cincinnati's offensive woes continued from their previous game against Kansas State, raising concerns about their ability to compete in the Big 12 conference.
Wes Miller's Bearcats fell 72-67 to Arizona at home on Saturday afternoon amidst another horrific offensive showing against a high-major team. UC turned the ball over 11 times to just 10 assists and was held under 70 points for the sixth outing in the past seven games.
Wes Miller and his staff haven't found a clear answer for these issues and it made things look a lot like Monday night. UC couldn't get going in transition, the lob game evaporated early, and they were left with a ton of isolation looks late in the shot clock. Mitchell turned his elite defense into easy offense at the other end multiple times and hit another three to follow up his makes on Monday night. He and Skillings were nearly tied for the top efficiency mark on the team .
Rim pressure was Arizona's biggest calling card, with 32 paint points and a whopping 21-27 free throw mark against Cincinnati's 12-23 finish from the line. That's right in line with UC's 333rd-ranked FT percentage entering the game.
