Late in the first quarter against Charleston Tuesday night Nick Widener hit a 3 and Tayden Wasburn scored a possession later to get the Bearcats within 11-10.
But Charleston would score the next 11 points and go on to win 57-25.
Washburn, with 13 points, and Widener, with 10, would account for all but two Bearcat points with the exception being a Hayden Daniel basket on a feed from Sadler Miller with 2:28 left in the first half.
That basket made it a single digit deficit of 27-16 for the last time.
