West Virginia grabbed an early 7-2 lead after senior guard Javon Small buried a three from the right wing, but Cincinnati bounced right back with sophomore guard Jizzle James hitting a tough jumper in the paint and junior guard Josh Reed drove the lane to pull the Bearcats within one at the 16:31 mark of the first half.
