After the Bearcats' 53-52 loss to St. John's Saturday, Cronin thought it was obvious why No. 14 Cincinnati suffered its second straight home loss after starting the season 13-0. The Red Storm (9-5, 1-1) outmuscled Cincinnati on the boards 40-34 and relied on a physical presence in the paint to outlast the Bearcats. [...] Red Storm leading scorer D'Angelo Harrison, coming off a career-high 36 points in a loss to Villanova this week, hit a jumper with 29 seconds left to regain the lead for St. John's. The Red Storm missed nine of their first 10 shots but stayed close thanks to solid play on the boards. Cincinnati's first-half offense looked similar to its last home game, a 55-54 loss to New Mexico on Dec. 27, in which it missed 21 shots in the paint and shot just 31.3 percent from the field.
