Nearly everything went as planned this week in the American Athletic Conference. USF and Tulane continued their losing ways while Cincinnati and SMU continued winning. Temple and Houston had especially good weeks while Tulsa predictably flamed out. The Golden Hurricane’s two losses to Cincinnati and SMU were difficult to watch, but the way they lost to the Bearcats was especially heartbreaking. Tulsa blew an 11-point with just six minutes remaining to allow Cincinnati to steal a game in their own gym. Ouch. Let’s take a look at how each team fared.
No. 11 USF (6-16, 0-11) (LW 11)
The lone bright spot for USF last week was freshman Malik Fitts who exploded for a career-high 28 points in the Bulls’ loss to Memphis.
