The Cincinnati Bearcats women’s basketball team had a decidedly tough outing this weekend in Orlando.
The UCF Knights pummeled the Bearcats by a margin of 57-41.
Cincinnati fell behind early, unable to hit much of anything from the floor. After building up a 34-20 edge at the half, UCF cruised to victory.
UCF hardly lit up the scoring sheet, shooting well under .400 but they certainly outpaced the Bearcats’ shooting.
The Bearcats shot a dreadful .286 from the field yesterday and went through several long stretches without a field goal. IImar’i Thomas logged 13 points and 8 rebounds but was stymied in her efforts by UCF’s strong defensive emphasis on shutting down the Bearcats’ top star.
