The Bearcats use a balanced game to comfortably defeat UCF on the road.
Kevin Johnson's 13 points and a double-double from Octavius Ellis led the Bearcats, as Cincinnati beat UCF, 69-51. The win pushes the Bearcats to 18-7 on the season overall and 8-4 in the American Athletic Conference. The Knights had Cincinnati fans on the edge of their seats in the early-going, but the Bearcats ultimately pulled away late, with four Bearcats reaching double-digit point totals.
While the final score looks good for the Bearcats, it wasn't pretty early on for Cincinnati. Johnson and Farad Cobb knocked down two three-pointers in the first couple minutes of the game, giving them an 8-4 lead.
