Themus Fulks Delivers No. 25 UCF Past Cincinnati with Late Jumper
Themus Fulks' decisive jumper with 11 seconds left secures UCF's narrow win despite Moustapha Thiam's career-high 24 points and heavy fan boos on his return.
- On Sunday, Themus Fulks hit a jumper with 11 seconds left to lift UCF Knights to a 73-72 win over Cincinnati Bearcats at Addition Financial Arena.
- After shooting 57.7% and 6 of 14 from 3, UCF bench scoring sparked runs that helped the Knights lead 33-32 at halftime and extend a second-half lead to six.
- Cincinnati's Moustapha Thiam was booed on nearly every touch during his return, finishing with a career-high after a reported `very messy divorce` brokered by assistant coach Mamadou N'Diaye; his late hook shot, free throws, and Baba Miller's layup briefly put Cincinnati ahead 72-71.
- UCF moves to 13-2 and enters the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2019, while Cincinnati Bearcats fall to 8-8 with their third straight loss.
- Fulks entered the game 13th nationally in assists with 12 in this matchup, and both teams have midweek games: UCF travels to Kansas State and Cincinnati hosts Colorado on Wednesday.
