Even without starting junior guard Geno Thorpe on the court for the Bulls, the beginning of today’s game against the No. 19 Cincinnati Bearcats ACTUALLY looked kind of promising. These guys always look promising in the first half, so you may think “Oh, this is no surprise.” Except for the fact that they somehow ended up down by 24 points at the half, and 41 points when the game ended. Final score: Bearcats 94, Bulls 53.
A minute into play, junior center Ruben Guerrero opened scoring with a baseline jumper. USF went up 4-0, on what we could assume would probably be their largest lead of the game.
