The Cincinnati Bearcats lost a tough game on the road to the No. 16 Butler Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon. Butler started to pull away with about10 minutes remaining and a combination of foul trouble and free throw shooting woes prevented the Bearcats from pulling off a comeback. As usual, Bearcat twitter had plenty to say about Troy Caupain, Kyle Washington and the officiating.
Thanks to everyone for continuing to participate in the conversation. Here’s hoping for a better result next time. #GoBearcats

Great move by Clark to get the #Bearcats on the board

Gary Clark gong to work right off the bat. Awesome rebound! #Bearcats pic.twitter.com/1quoVpBl3N

You can tell by the noise, #Bearcats traveled well to #Butler

KJ with a great anticipation steal and lay in. #Bearcats #UC

Opponents corner three shooting percentage continues to be off the charts. #Bearcats

4 shots in the first 8 minutes. #Bearcats
We're at the under 12 minute timeout and Butler leads 15-14. Butler shooting 71% so far. #Bearcats #AAC pic.twitter.com/E0RY5NcqHN

Gary Clark has been a matchup problem for Butler early on. #Bearcats #Butler

Cincinnati's pressure is just ridiculous. So good on D. #Bearcats
— Tony Patelis (@CollegeHoopNews) December 10, 2025
I haven't seen the #Bearcats play full-court defense like this since 1992. I like it!
— Michael Wilder (@iamwilder12) December 10, 2025
Have they missed a three? #Bearcats #UC
— BearcatsSportsRadi (@bearcatsradio) December 10, 2025
Have to get to halftime with Kyle out. Announcing is deplorable #Bearcats
— Adam Blecher (@BearcatfanAdam) December 10, 2025
Jacob Evans with just 2 shots through 13 minutes. He's pulled back on a couple. He and Cumberland need to just let it fly. #Bearcats
— J. Scott Sewell (@jscottsewell) December 10, 2025
Looked like #Butler may pull away with 9-0 run. Instead, #Cincinnati scores 8 in a row. Now it's #Bearcats' ball with #Butler leading 25-23.
— Mike Marot (@apmarot) December 10, 2025
That is why the 3 ball is the equalizer. #Bearcats
— Raymond Greenbriar (@RedmanCincy) December 10, 2025
Troy Caupain is here to play. #Bearcats #UC
— BearcatsSportsRadi (@bearcatsradio) December 10, 2025
Law of averages says Butler goes about 2-14 from three in the second half. #Bearcats
— Michael Shults (@michaelshults) December 10, 2025
We're at the under 4 minute mark. Bearcats trail as Butler shooting 70% from 3 point line. #Bearcats pic.twitter.com/AHAV7GutWh
— J. Scott Sewell (@jscottsewell) December 10, 2025
I want to think they can't keep shooting this well from 3. Trailing 33-27 with 3 minutes in first. #Bearcats #UC
— BearcatsSportsRadi (@bearcatsradio) December 10, 2025
Wish I could mute just that one announcer... #Bearcats #GoBearcats

Good to see Troy Caupain taking over the game. Just what the #Bearcats need throughout this game

Two straight games with buzzer beaters at the half for #Bearcats. pic.twitter.com/vgbFoKGJoo

#Bearcats Troy Caupin has just incredibly strong hands. Just rips boards from guys twice his size.
— Baseline Views (@baselineviews) December 10, 2025
Kyle Washington needs to get his ass on the block and POST UP! He's the best scoring post player in the MFing country!! #Bearcats

The #Bearcats travel well. @N__C_K_ pic.twitter.com/qEqpaVs8bB

Butler leads the #Bearcats 41-39 with 15:44 left. Caupain leads all scorers with 18 pts.

Washington out with 3 fouls now. He's missed huge chunks of this game so far. #Bearcats
— J. Scott Sewell (@jscottsewell) December 10, 2025
#Bearcats in danger zone here. Need to stay within 10 before next TV timeout.
— Baseline Views (@baselineviews) December 10, 2025
Refs call 4th foul on #Bearcats Kyle Washington with 11:10 to go. Review makes it official.
— Mike Marot (@apmarot) December 10, 2025
#Bearcats struggle from deep...*jacks up back-to-back-to-back quick threes
— Mike (@MikeThomas_1970) December 10, 2025
It looks bleak down 7 with 8 to play, but I'm betting this game is within 3 points in the last minute. #Bearcats
— Michael Shults (@michaelshults) December 10, 2025
#Bearcats are fighting hard but 12 points in 12 minutes to start the 2nd half is just not enough
— Justin Berg (@BergieNights) December 10, 2025
Butler 55, UC 47 8:06 left
Games like this are where Quadri being a waste of a scholarship rear their ugly head. #Bearcats
— jbrinkmeyer (@jbrinkmeyer) December 10, 2025
Game is beginning to slip away from the #Bearcats.

Clark and Washington launching threes is not a way we are going to ever win games..#Bearcats
— Kevin Deitsch (@KDeitsch_wx) December 10, 2025
Every time #Bearcats have looked in trouble, Troy Caupain has made great plays at rim.
— Baseline Views (@baselineviews) December 10, 2025
Troy Caupain is giving me all the basketball feels tonight. #Bearcats
— Ashley Davis (@AshleyDavis32) December 10, 2025
#Bearcats 5-11 from free throw today.
— J. Scott Sewell (@jscottsewell) December 10, 2025
Cronin gets a technical. That's your ballgame, folks. #Bearcats
— J. Scott Sewell (@jscottsewell) December 10, 2025
That's atrocious officiating. #Bearcats
— Doug Smith (@_dougesmith_) December 10, 2025
Mick Cronin has a right to be upset. What a horrible call. #Bearcats
— Ashley Davis (@AshleyDavis32) December 10, 2025
Cronin is 100% justified. #Bearcats
— Michael Shults (@michaelshults) December 10, 2025
Down 9 with 4 minutes to play. Need some luck. #Bearcats #UC

#Bearcats
— Time to Live (@NewMerciesISee) December 10, 2025
What we could use now is some competent officiating.
Oh, and a scoring run. #GoBearcats
— BearcatsSportsRadi (@bearcatsradio) December 10, 2025
This #Bearcats officiating is a fucking joke.
— Andrew Miller (@Miller_Tyyyme) December 10, 2025
I hate complaining about officiating, but I'm shocked a pushoff wasn't called on Lewis before the foul on Caupain #Bearcats
— J. Scott Sewell (@jscottsewell) December 10, 2025
#Bearcats can't let out a silent fart without a fall called on them
— Jared Blackmore (@_heartPAc_) December 10, 2025
Dear Mick Cronin,
— Jeff Geiser (@JeffGeiser) December 10, 2025
Please do not play Quadri Moore ever again.
Signed,#Bearcats basketball fans
#Bearcats lose 75-65. Tough loss to a good team. Would like to play them again with Kyle Washington getting significant minutes. pic.twitter.com/1rtVUtq3pO
— J. Scott Sewell (@jscottsewell) December 10, 2025
Hard loss, only because this was completely a winnable game. #Bearcats
— Ashley Davis (@AshleyDavis32) December 10, 2025
Damn, nice fight #Bearcats :( tough road tests will only make you stronger for postseason play!
