Bearcats spoil Huggins' return to Cincy (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Freshman forward Yancy Gates had his second career double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds Thursday night, and Cincinnati held on for a 65-61 victory over West Virginia in coach Bob Huggins' tearful homecoming. Gates, who was recruited by Huggins to play at West Virginia, helped Cincinnati (18-10, 8-7 Big East) get a double-digit lead that was barely enough.
