Cincinnati 27 WVU 23 Half #Bearcats
WVU up 17-15 at the under 8. Not much good to say about this performance so far, but they only trail by 2. #Bearcats
WVU up 12-9 at the under 12 media. 5 turnovers have led to 8 of the 12 Mountaineer points. Most of the annoyingly sloppy variety. #Bearcats
Cincinnati leads WVU 7-6 at the first media stop of the night. #Bearcats jumped out to a 7-2 start, but a pair of turnovers spoiled the end of the segment. Vik Lakhin still rusty after missing Saturday with an illness has 3 of the 4 team turnovers.
