Justin Jackson recorded his third career double-double, all this season, with 16 points and 12 rebounds — tying his career-high — to help Cincinnati (9-2) win its second straight game after losing two in a row. Jackson also had four blocked shots, one shy of his season-high.
Kilpatrick scored 16 points in the second half to move past Louis Banks and into eighth place on Cincinnati’s career scoring list.
Kerry Hammonds finished with a season-high five 3-pointers and scored 17 points to lead the Blue Raiders (8-4), who shot a season-worst .267 (12-for-45) from the field while scoring their fewest points of the season.
