UCF Rallies Past Cincinnati 66-65 in OT to Reach the Big 12 Tournament Quarterfinals

At the T-Mobile Center, UCF rallied to beat Cincinnati 66-65 in overtime on Thursday, advancing to the Big 12 quarterfinals.
Facing a 12-point deficit, UCF used an 8-0 run over the final two minutes and capitalized on three Cincinnati turnovers before Riley Kugel’s layup tied the game at 58.
Despite poor shooting, UCF received contributions from Jamichael Stillwell with 17 points and 15 rebounds, and Riley Kugel with 15 points, while shooting 34%.
With Selection Sunday days away, UCF Knights' win snapped a three-game losing streak and may bolster their NCAA Tournament chances; Cincinnati's bubble hopes depend on other results on Sunday.
Looking ahead, UCF earns a date with top-seeded Arizona on Thursday after reaching the quarterfinals, a stage they have not yet advanced past in history.
