Returning to form Williams had 24 points (9-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two blocks across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 70-69 victory over Tulsa. Impact The Bearcats sit in the middle of the pack in the American conference and will need an epic run to be tournament eligible, but Williams is the type of player that can make that a reality. He had been in a bit of a funk, however, averaging 9.0 ppg on 34.6 percent shooting over his last three games. Wednesday's contest allowed him to snap out of that with his highest scoring total since Nov. 9. As he goes, so does Cincinnati.
