Despite a career-high 22 point performance from guard Payton Banks, the USF Bulls fell 78-55 to the 14th-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats tonight at the Sun Dome to drop to 7-11 overall and remain winless in American Athletic Conference play at 0-5.
“I feel about 90%,” Banks said after missing the last three games with an undisclosed injury. “It’s my job to knock down shots and help my team win games... that’s what I tried to do tonight.”
The game was off to … not a bad start. Within the first three minutes, the Bulls held an 8-4 lead behind back-to-back threes from guard Stephan Jiggetts and forward Malik Martin.
