CINCINNATI (AP) Trevon Scott salvaged an admittedly “bad” night with a play that might have saved Cincinnati's NCAA Tournament hopes.

The senior's tip-in with 2.8 seconds left lifted the Bearcats to a 64-63 win over upset-minded Temple in the regular-season finale on Saturday night.

“I had a bad game for the whole game, but it doesn't matter,” said Scott, whose five points were 6.6 below his season average on an unproductive Senior Night. “For me to go out like that for the city, for the team, for myself. ... After the game, my teammates were like, ‘Throw everything out the window. Look at what you just did.’ ”
