CINCINNATI — The Bearcats lost another ranked matchup in the Wes Miller era on Friday night, 74-64 to No. 6 Louisville. UC had just three players sniff double-digits scoring as they squandered away the best defensive showing yet against a team that averaged 103 points per game entering this one (second nationally)..

UC is now 44-57 all-time against the Cardinals and is dealing with an injury to Baba Miller, who did not play in the final 10 minutes due to an undisclosed ailment.

"If there's anything I take from tonight, this could be a great team," Miller said about the performance postgame. "I know everybody will think it's damn coach speak but it's not, this could be a great basketball team."

He didn't have a clear update on Miller, but noted it's a hip injury.

"Stuff happens and I don't play the excuse game, I don't do that crap," Miller said about the absence of Miller. "Baba I don't know he got hit in the hip and tried to give it a go, but wasn't able to so we will re-evaluate when we know more."
