The Cincinnati Bearcats barely needed their starting five in a 94-53 rout of South Florida on Sunday, further testament to UC’s depth as it marches toward a seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament basketball appearance.
Freshman guard Jarron Cumberland (Wilmington High School) came off the bench for a career-high 26 points against USF, as the top team in the American Athletic Conference crushed the last-place team. Cumberland on Monday was named AAC Player of the Week, with a 15-point game against Xavier also on his resume.
UC next takes its 12-game winning streak to Tulsa on Wednesday, a challenging matchup against the third-place AAC team.
