The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests.

If the Big Bounce happens faster than 10^100 years then there will still be black holes, and things falling into a black hole (such as the entire cosmos) would extend its lifespan.
Also, if the universe does eventually Bounce, new black holes will have opportunity to form. Hawking radiation only really starts to come into play when not even photons are hitting black holes any more.
