ROSEMONT, IL � Drake Diener and Delonte Holland scored 17 each
and Quemont Greer had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead DePaul to a
68-65 upset over No. 13 Cincinnati on Thursday night.
Fans were chanting "Nah-nah, hey-hey, goodbye!" as the final seconds
ticked off and when the final buzzer sounded, students rushed the
floor.
The loss could be a costly one for Cincinnati, which came into the
game tied with Memphis for the lead in Conference USA. The Bearcats
(20-6, 11-4 C-USA) play Memphis on Saturday in the regular-season
finale.
But with so much at stake, Cincinnati picked a bad time to play
poorly. The Bearcats, one of the best-shooting teams in C-USA, shot
less than 44 percent, lost the rebounding battle 36-27 and had only
three players in double figures.
Field Williams led Cincinnati with 14 points, all but two coming
from 3-point range. Eric Hicks and Armein Kirkland had 10 each.

Billikens star leaves team to be with ailing Dad
Saint Louis's leading scorer, Reggie
Bryant, left the team Thursday to be with his seriously ill father.
Coach Brad Soderberg said it's not clear how long Bryant will be away. Saint
Louis' final regular-season game is Friday night at home against Houston.
Bryant scored 15 points for Saint Louis (15-11) in a 75-48 loss to
Louisville on Wednesday night. He averages 16.9 points.
The Billikens' game against Houston is one
with particular meaning for East Carolina, which is battling the Cougars for
the last available spot in the Conference USA Tournament.
