Cincinnati had its chances. And that doesn't even count the two missed free throws by Hayden Koval in the final seconds.

The Bearcats fell to visiting Monmouth Saturday, 61-59. They converted just 4 of 28 three-pointers. They shot 9-20 at the free throw line. And Cincinnati couldn't take advantage of 15 Monmouth turnovers.

"We've gotta do better," coach Wes Miller said. "We've been better this year. I've gotta do a better job preparing our team."

It's a steep fall for the Bearcats, after an impressive Hall of Fame Classic showing that included a win over Illinois, No. 14 in this week's AP Top 25 poll.
