No. 19 Cincinnati Defeats No. 22 Dayton, Snapping Flyers' Five-Game Streak

Cincinnati's defense and key performances from Dan Skillings Jr. and Jizzle James secure a 66-59 victory in the regional rivalry matchup.

Cincinnati's Dan Skillings Jr. led the team with 17 points, six rebounds, and four steals, while Jizzle James contributed 14 points, bouncing back from a poor shooting performance in the previous game.
Dayton struggled offensively early, missing its first 11 shots and committing a season-high 17 turnovers, leading to its lowest scoring output of the season.
Cincinnati built an 18-point lead in the second half but had to fend off a late Dayton rally, with critical free throws helping the Bearcats seal the win.
