2016 American Men's Basketball Highlights - #24 Cincinnati 93, Marshall 91



CINCINNATI (AP) -- Troy Caupain rebounded his missed shot and made a short jumper with 0.7 seconds left in overtime on Thursday night, rallying No. 24 Cincinnati to a 93-91 victory over Marshall.
The Bearcats (10-2) trailed by as many as 15 points in regulation and held the lead only briefly, 75-74 on Tre Scott's free throw with 2:49 left. A 3-pointer by Jacob Evans III off a Marshall turnover tied it at 80 and sent it to overtime.

Gary Clark led Cincinnati with 26 points and 10 rebounds.

Stevie Browning scored 28 points for Marshall (7-5) and made a career-high six 3s, leading a perimeter attack that took control at the outset. Marshall made five of its first six shots from beyond the arc -- each by a different player -- while pulling ahead 19-4.

The Thundering Herd made a season-high 14 3-pointers in the first half alone, taking a 50-38 lead to the locker room. Browning had 21 points in the half.

Marshall hasn't beaten a ranked team since its 75-71 win over West Virginia on Jan. 19, 2011.
