To evaluate the Cincinnati Bearcats’ win over the USF Bulls on Tuesday night, you really need to divide the game into its two halves. In the first half, everything came up Bearcats. They shot 48 percent from the field and actually found consistent success from three-point range, drilling 6-of-12 attempts from such a distance. They were also excellent on defense, scoring 19 points off of turnovers while holding the Bulls to 40 percent shooting efficiency. Some old habits crept back in for the Bearcats during the second half, as they stopped hitting threes (1-for-6) while they allowed the Bulls to shoot at a 54 percent clip and tie the game twice.
